Please, pull the plug on analog TV on schedule. Otherwise no one will think there's a need to fix the problem and we'll go one forever with dual systems.

Remember when we were worried about the Metric System? We actually had dual signs in many places at one time when we were trying to convert.

Most countries in Europe switched to the Euro overnight. One day it was Deutschmarks, Francs, Lira, Punts, the next it was Euro. There was a transition period where prices might be shown in both currencies but literally it was a big bang - your old currency would not be accepted after the changeover except in a bank.

Same style switchover happened in Ireland for road speeds. One day it was MPH, and literally overnight all signs were KPH.
