I like these parts of the document best.

Not allowing DRM on public airwaves is a solution. It is the solution that would be best for the US
consumer and for device makers.......
To stop applying DRM encryption broadcasters simply need to untick the DRM config option on the
station video encoders. All broadcast video encoder equipment supports not applying DRM
encryption.......
All existing ATSC 3.0 televisions and receiver equipment purchased by US consumers would continue to
work, now with all channels available to all devices

I may have lost track of this. But usually there a fixed number of days for comments and then a set day for a "ruling". What is the end date if any. That way I can just hibernate until then

Me too, as by far the best solution for the public...

But I guess I could live with the second option of the FCC at least just require SD and others to simply implement the same Google Widevine DRM used by current streaming services and mandate A3SA's ridiculous and obviously discriminatory rules against Gateway devices be dropped.
