1080p broadcasting, according to studies contributes 75% of of the remaining 10% of greenhouses gases not produced by Al Gore crying about my lightbulbs. Hee hee.
Seriously, 1080p broadcasts are not likely to happen. Networks can't even get it right with 720p and and 1080i without problems. Most don't even use their full bandwidth now. My concern with this notion of going all mpeg4 will kill the QAM support for local channels which are protected by FCC rules. But then that won't stop Comcast from ignoring more FCC regulations.
