Consumer Reports tackles the transition
A big part of a successful transition to digital TV is educating the average TV viewer; and while we do our best to help out the enthusiast, the burden to inform the rest of America falls on newspapers, and magazines like Consumer Reports. In their attempt to let people know the facts, we'd say they did a pretty good job, -- much better than some of their other HD articles -- but we wished they'd mentioned the benefits at the beginning instead of the end; after all just about everyone is getting an upgrade.

The article does not mention those people who receive standard cable WITHOUT a set-top box using an older (NTSC/cable-ready) T.V.

That is a good point, I noticed that myself.
I think they left it out because it is different all over the country and is likely to change. For example, Chicago's cable co recently announced that they were eliminating analog cable. It's hard to say if this will become the norm (we can only hope).
