They are trying to prevent the govt from allowing third parties to use the large amounts of what is called ‘white spaces’ that the digital TV transition created. See the wikipedia article at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_spaces_%28radio%29

The idea the FCC has, is to use the unused radio frequencies to promote wireless broadband oppertunities.

If anything, it should be the people who are upset that the NAB and its members are trying to stifle high speed options.
