Re: This Program Deserves To Fail

said by tschmidt:

Coupon program is not taxpayer funded.

As part of the digital TV transition FCC auctioned UHF channels 52-69. Auction generated billions in revenue. To compensate people for making analog TV obsolete a small portion of this revenue is being used to fund the coupon program.
