Re: Meet the new boss... Hold on for a sec. I need a longer lens to still see the relevance of your argument from here. Be right back...
As for the DTV transition, there are always people who wait until two minutes past the last second. It happens with hurricanes, it happens with blizzards and it happens with things like this. Give it a rest.

I don't know what the answer is, but commercials aren't working so simply spewing more of them during prime-time isn't going to work. And I've yet to see any other plan put forth or even suggested for that matter. |

So you agree that many people wait until the last minute, but yet at the same time you want to extend the transition for these same people? Give these people 6 months and in 6 months they'll want and expect another 6 month extention. That's just how some people are.
People wait until the last second to file their taxes. They do eventually file them because they know there are consequences for filing after April 15th. If you push back the date now those people that would have gotten their acts together in the next 5 weeks will just figure "hey I've got another 6 months I'll upgrade later" |

Some of these are the same people who do it every single years because they can't be bothered with it and wait until the last minute to do them. |
