I hope not, it would be an ugly precedent for the gov. to force a business to run its business according to the dictates of a government. I though that was how dictatorships start.
I'd rather see the TV networks "persuaded" to make the guide data available on their own, For example, do they really need so much FREE publicly owned bandwidth just to show duplicate channels vs. maybe they do to broadcast the full EIT data, that way the choice is theirs as in loose the bandwidth or justify it with full EIT data, see no one would be forcing them to broadcast the data.
