| Re: Meet the new boss... said by hottboiinnc  :And companies long before the wireless companies were given the right to use the Airwavz for public TV. Regardless if the country is not ready we're not ready. Maybe you should pony up the money and buy the boxes that people need. Or maybe AT&T should expand their "future proof" tv service their marketing and we wouldn't have this problem since they're claiming their the ONLY TV service that won't be affected by the change. Sorry, but there were enough people in North Carolina that ignored all warnings because they were "too busy" to do anything about it.
Some people don't want the change. Should we hold it up until these people say it is o.k.?

| Re: Meet the new boss... I agree. When the changeover occurs, they'll finally have to do something about it. We've all been hearing about this changeover for a long time now. I normally have sympathy for people who aren't tech-savvy or who can't afford new tech (goodness knows, I can't, many times), but the commercials about the change have been stuck in between all those shows that people who don't pay attention to tech normally watch for over a year now, so there is no excuse. If they don't have the money now for the new box, they're not going to have it later.
Let's take that giant step into the future and be done with it already.

But when I visited my cousins in upstate NY, it was pop. Down here in the South, it's just Coke or Pepsi, depending on which you prefer. Most people call everything a "Coke", even if it's a Dr. Pepper or Mtn. Dew. | |
