Presuming you mean TV and not radio, then from a US perspective are you
suggesting that :
* The government should subsidies everyone $50 to buy a new modem/router/etc
* The government should force people to stop using IPv4 after a fixed
period of changeover

Those are the only two reasons that the US analogue to digital changeover
was even close to successful, and that's in a country where a minority of
people actually have over-the-air terrestrial TV (as opposed to
cable/satellite).

Scaling that to the entire planet?  Not going to happen...

  Scott.
