[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
House Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell (D-MI) encouraged all of his constituents to apply ASAP for digital-to-analog converter-box coupons good for $40 toward their purchases. "It is my goal that everyone in my district be prepared for the digital transition well ahead of the deadline,” Chairman Dingell told his constituents, according to a release from the committee. “If your family has any television sets that receive signals over-the-air or using rabbit ears, I strongly recommend that you apply for and redeem your converter-box coupons at your earliest convenience,” he said. “The new digital technology will benefit all Michigan residents with more and higher quality over-the-air programming, new advanced wireless services and better connectivity for first-responders and other public-safety communications."
