Nice story but ....
Just had a short look at today's calender.
Reminds me of an april fool's joke that was a great success here in the Netherlands some 35 odd years ago.
A short news item with roughly the same content was aired during our national non commercial 20:00 hrs news.
Only with one, not unimportant, twist: the journalist had discovered one minute flaw in the system: detection was impossible when you covered your TV (except for the screen) in aluminium foil .....
Next day around 12:00 hrs not a single roll of aluminum foil could be bought anywhere in a supermarket througout the entire country. All aluminium foil was completely sold out.
That evening the 20:00 hrs news confessed the story was an april fools joke.
Needless to say that during that same day the number of applications for a TV & Radio Licences rose dramatically.
