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.
The lobbying group responsible for the annual CES conference opposes this mandate.
About 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, which became a game-changer.
The "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act" is also being opposed by the same lobbying group leader.
This decision may impact the future of television technology in the U.S.
Author summary: CTA opposes NEXTGEN TV tuner mandate.
