I don't understand why analogue wasn't switched off in the digital areas, though. The only people it would have affected would have been the analogue hangers-on - those with the option to go digital but refusing too - and why should anyone care about them?
Areas not capable of digital would have just carried on as normal until they could be upgraded, if ever.
But no, for some reason the cablecos decided that a tiny, tiny number of people had the right to choose to severely cripple and hinder the development of the services of over 3 million people!
