Pols hit panic button as DTV coupon program goes broke

The gov­ern­ment essen­tially forced the dig­i­tal tele­vi­sion con­ver­sion on us in order to free up spec­trum for the FCC to sell. That was bad enough, but to add insult to injury the pro­gram pro­vid­ing coupons for upgrades has run out of money. If you fac­tor in the issues with changes in the area cov­er­age of dig­i­tal vs. ana­log, it’s hard to see how this will end well. Expect a lot of unhappy peo­ple come Feb­ru­ary 17th.
