Markey Praises FCC Plan to Test Drive DTV Transition
Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, released the following statement this afternoon in reaction to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plan to establish a digital television (DTV) test market in Wilmington, NC this September.
Rep. Markey said, "Given the high stakes for consumers, public safety, and wireless innovation posed by the DTV transition, the planned early transition Wilmington this September will be a critical test-drive.' I am pleased the local community and the FCC were able to arrange this program and look forward to evaluating the results."
