Just slightly less than a week before the Digital Television Conversion was said to come, President Obama signed the DTV-Delay Bill. Somewhat silently the government admitted that too many people stood to loose their TV signal on February 17th. Despite excessive advertisements, from both the government and your local smug cable spokesman, the people did not listen.
Now what does this all mean? Supposedly the transition will now occur on June 12th—but is the government bluffing again this time? The government needs to beef up integrity by actually enforcing it this time. Because I know that if I were one of those people who for some reason did not listen to these obnoxious commercials, then I would be unlikely to pay attention if they keep giving me a loose deadline. Toughen up and get it done.
