COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN TO VISIT 
PUERTO RICO FOR DTV OUTREACH
Washington, D.C. -- FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein announced he will visit Puerto Rico 
on December 15th and 16th to hold a public town hall meeting on the digital television (DTV) 
transition.  
WHO: FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein
WHAT: Public Town Halls on the DTV Transition
WHEN: December 15, 10:00AM to 12:00PM
WHERE: Interamerican University School of Law
 Urb. Industrial, Federico Costa Street #170

The FCC identified target television markets for specific DTV outreach, including all those 
markets in which more than 100,000 households or at least 15% of the households rely solely on 
over-the-air (OTA) signals for television reception.  The five FCC Commissioners and senior 
Commission staff will visit these and other markets to raise awareness and educate consumers in 
the days leading up to the DTV transition on February 17, 2009.  With more than half of all 
television households relying on OTA reception, Puerto Rico is one of the most OTA-reliant 
markets in the United States.
Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. Include a 
description of the accommodation you will need with as much detail as possible. Also include a
