Re: RE:FCC Chairman Concerned DTV Converted Box Program May Be '
said by instantnet11  :They should put those millions to the bailout. I am sure that the government has not need or contract that says they HAVE to pay for the boxes. Because this was a government mandated switch over, the funds from the auction were specifically earmarked for transition-related expenses, including the converter boxes. Basically, the conversion was self-funding, using no tax money.
As for the money being used for the bailout, that would be a huge waste of FCC resources and it would not be permitted under the law that authorized the program.
