DTV Delay Could Do More Harm Than good
By
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said that delaying the digital-TV transition because the government had run out of converter-box coupons would only confuse Americans. There has been a unprecedented barrage of public service announcements and stories about the switch occurring Feb. 17.
As many Americans scramble to get their living rooms ready for the switch to digital television, Mr. Martin expressed concern about changing the February 17th switch date and urged Congress to make some changes to the program. Among Mr. Martins requests: more funding for the $40 coupons and ditching the 90-day expiration dates on the coupons. Im concerned about customer confusion, he said.
