I would love to see the SNL or MadTV skit about exactly what happens when analog TV ceases.
Civil war? People opening up their windows and yelling "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"? Overloaded mental health hotlines? People going to the library or going outside? Liquor stores depleting their entire stock? |

Re: Contract
said by 53059959 :since they already sold off the spectrum, don't they by contract have to shut it off at some point since companies paid for it? Yes, at some point. But I don't think it was in any contract between the FCC and the spectrum bidding winners. And, of course, Congress by passing a law can change the terms. A company could go to court, but by the time they would win, the extension period, if granted by Congress, would have long since passed.

Re: Martin FINALLY gets one right
I agree, they need to treat this like a band aide at this point. Get it over with, by this time if they are unprepared two or three months will not make much difference.

"There are options they can do without having to delay to get coupons flowing immediately," Martin said. Congress could give the program additional funding, or eliminate the 90-day expiration deadline on the coupons, he said.
"I'm concerned about a delay in the sense that if you can solve that issue other ways, a delay has actually the potential to confuse consumers," said Martin, a Republican. "All of our messaging has been about Feb. 17 — not just ours — the industry's." Martin FINALLY gets one right.
