House Panel meeting today to discuss DTV and Government Accountability Office report
A meeting on Capitol Hill today will address the most pressing issues for DTV preparedness and the transition to digital television.
Federal Communications Commission and Commerce Department officials will be among the government personnel participating in the hearing by testifying about the current state of the transition. Other topics of discussion may include a recently released Government Accountability Office report.
Help for Expired Coupon Holders?
Most importantly, today’s discussion may include the topic of expired converter coupons. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration recently requested additional funds to expand the coupon program, which may include relief for consumers stuck with expired converter box coupons.
With five months left until the digital transition, Lawmakers are running out of time to legislate changes to the coupon program.
