Incidentally, the Hartsfield airport in Atlanta-- if I recall, the busiest airport in the world-- has those huge flat-screen HDTV sets scattered throughout, but their use isn't exactly widespread. Most of the arrival/departure boards still use the old, smaller sets, but at least they *are* apparently in the process of replacing them, heh.
