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.

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 proposal is compared to the past mandate, which led to significant changes in the television industry.

The lobbying group doesn't want the NEXTGEN TV-compatible receiver mandate to happen.

Author's summary: CTA opposes NEXTGEN TV tuner mandate.
