$697 Million Consumer Education Campaign for Digital Television
"Today’s action by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) will play a significant role 
in ensuring Americans will have a smooth transition to digital television.  A successful 
completion of the digital transition depends upon government and industry working together in 
promoting consumer awareness.  The switch from analog to digital technology will offer 
consumers many benefits, make valuable spectrum available for public safety uses, and expand 
wireless competition and innovation. The Commission is committed to ensuring that appropriate 
policies are in place to ensure that no American is left behind in this part of the digital 
revolution."
