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 mandated that all TV set manufacturers in the U.S. add a dial for UHF television, a game-changer that came to fruition a decade later.
The current proposal is facing opposition from the lobbying group, which also opposes the "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act."
