Transition to Digital Gets Closer - New York Times

This is a big deal and will affect the whole country in a way that is very positive. The frequency spectrum made available by this conversion will enable a ton of additional wireless service for business and consumers. Congress is right to get it done sooner rather than later. Now we'll see if the Senate will go along.

The ~10$Billion from the spectrum auctions will help support the conversion costs for consumers and I note that 1$Billion or so will be targeted at emergency communications services upgrades. That's a good thing.
