If there was a way for the most popular cable channels to be made available to those with digital antennas, that would be so awesome. You know, something like Me-TV or Bounce.
Why? just one city? that is stupid.

When European countries in general switched to DTT, in many of them that was actually what happened. So on that score you're onto something.
But as long as the cost is not ongoing, it may be possible to recoup it in a reasonable amount of time. With the technology of the time, the only way to control who could watch television broadcast over the air was through control of the equipment, as in the compulsory public subscription model, which only worked well where the broadcaster funded by the licence fee had a monopoly. The other model was the advertising model.Also, you have seriously underestimated the cost of laying cables. Do not forget that one need to get permissions from landlords and obtaining rights of way can be a significant hassle. Not counting costs needed to obtain rights of way
The surprises me.USA still has places that are not serviced by landline phone services until 2005
