The National Telecommunications and Information Administration revealed the details of it’s digital TV converter box subsidy that will allow every US household two apply for two $40 coupons to defray the cost of the converter box. The boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70 a piece. The goal of the vouchers is a seamless shift to digital television by February 19, 2009.
The reason the feds are giving this subsidy is because the conversion to digital TV is a government mandate, not a market driven decision.
