They won't as long as the economy is stagnant.  Consumers don't have the
money to buy the sets (which, incidentally, they are also mandating by
requiring digital transmissions), stations don't have the advertising
revenue to pay the fines, etc.

The FCC, despite claims to the contrary, is actually one of the few
"reasonable" government agencies.
