No... It means that you will have black bars at the sides of the picture.

No, any wide screen content will use the entire screen.

True, though some TVs also have more options like zooming
the picture so it crops off the top and bottom in order to
fill the sides (instead of having black bars), or to deform
it by stretching instead of zooming. If only they came up
with a good way to get rid of those channel logos in the
corner of the screen, cropping loses too much of the picture
if source is 4:3, IMO.

Haven't you heard? Analog TV is to be exterminated.

True but what about everything (content) already existing in
4:3 format or anything new produced with it? That may be
digitally transmitted OTA but still the widescreen TV area
can't be put to full use.
