Well, I would suggest that we use the MUSE system. Why wait years
and years for a system that hasn't even be finalized, and settle
for something that will most probably be inferior. (re: American
MTS system. Japan had theirs before ours, and we got stuck with
Zenith's system, and they got rich.)

Billions spent on competing systems, and for what? Pride?
Selfishness? Come on, even some of the major Japanese manufacturers
(Matsushita, Sony, Toshiba, for example) built their TV sets in
American facilities.

Money spent, while we have to wait on the wayside, while Japan
begins HDTV broadcast satellite (BS) service.

OUr companies should save the money, and come up with better and
less expensive HDTV sets, rather than spend money onsomething
completely different, thus making early HDTV sets incredibly
expensive, as the US companies try to recoup development costs,
thus making the sets very unpopular.

Sure MUSE is not perfect, but Sony and NHK surely has made the
system expandable, it's available *now*. By the way, I believe NHK
and Sony is working on an NTSC compatible MUSE system.
