[USMA:34756] Digital Television Transition

[Hillger, Don]

This is slightly off topic, but related to the metric transition, in that the transition to digital TV in the U.S. is taking place in a coordinated way.  See the summary of a just released GAO report at: http://frwebgate2.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=70488043289+2+2+0&WAISaction=retrieve The report focus on the need for public information campaign to “enhance” the transition, as was accomplished in Great Britain and Germany.   I don’t send this so that list subscribers can debate the pros and cons of digital TV, rather to show that the government has decided to take on the digital TV transition, unlike the transition to metric.   Don
