CTA Fighting Plan For Mandatory NEXTGEN TV Tuners
The Carr Commission is considering a mandate that would require all sellers of televisions in the U.S to include a NEXTGEN TV-compatible receiver.
A lobbying group, responsible for the annual CES conference, opposes this mandate.
Some 60 years ago, FCC Chairman Newton Minow championed a mandate for all TV set manufacturers in the U.S. to add a dial for UHF television, a game-changer that came to fruition a decade later.
The CTA now fights a similar mandate for NEXTGEN TV tuners.
No comment from CTA.
Author summary: CTA opposes NEXTGEN TV tuner mandate.
