Um they did nothing during 9/11 if you did not read above. We have sat on the emergency broadcasting signal since as long as I can remember and every week I see tests. However anytime there is an actual emergency the news breaks into the channel and says holy crap look at this...
It is being used so they can send more information OTA. An improvement in technology and service yes but please lets not say shit about emergency shit. Yeah they claim it will free up frequencies for fire, police, and emergency but come on. It is about improved picture, sound and multiple channels.
