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 TV set manufacturers to add a dial for UHF television, which became a game-changer.

The lobbying group doesn't want a similar mandate for NEXTGEN TV tuners.

No comment from the commission yet.
