[78-L] Digital Television -To Be,Or Not To Be?

[David Weiner]

This just in from the New York Times:

Six weeks before the nation's television stations are scheduled to  
convert to digital transmission, an aide to President-elect Barack  
Obama is asking Congress to consider a delay. In the most significant  
sign to date of concern about the impending digital TV transition, the  
Obama transition team co-chairman John Podesta said the government  
funds to support the change are "woefully inadequate" and said that  
the digital switch date, Feb. 17, should be "reconsidered and extended."

So, just as the last three deadlines have been extended, the February  
2009 date is likely to be put off.
