    Dolan Trying To Keep VOOM Alive

    Is there any way to petition the FCC as to making a rule as to the minmum bandwith for HDTV, either delivered by Sat or OTA? How would we go about this? would it make any difference? It seems they think so long as it's broadcast in 16:9 that it's considered HD. What would be a good rate? 12MB?
