TOP THREE TV RETAILERS COORDINATE FCC FILINGS ON DTV TRANSITION
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
Using the same language template and writing on the same day, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Target have sent statements to the Federal Communications Commission assuring the agency that they're ready for the DTV transition. The filings are not identical, but they're not all that different either. Among their promises: 1) To inform the public about the National Telecommunications Information Administration's NTIA Coupon-Eligible Converter Box CECB program. 2) To publicize the campaign on their Web sites. 3) All three retailers will distribute DTV pamphlets in their stores, include DTV information in their advertising supplements, and train their sales associates to help customers deal with the transition.
