www.broadband.gov FCC National Broadband Program

The recent transfer to digital television (DTV), which the
commissioners hailed as a success, will in many ways serve
as a template for the broadband program.

Maybe this will actually end up being the next OTA "DTV"
transition with wireless broadband supplying TV programs.

Could be.
It is long overdue.

That article is very poorly written. "The national broadband program
aims to provide every American access to broadband internet. The FCC
announced that they would be launching a website, www.broadband.gov,
and kicking off staff workshops to organize the presentation of
their report. The completion of the program is expected to occur
on February, 17 2010." That makes it sound as though the broadband
program ("Ensure that all people of the United States have access
to broadband capability," according to the FCC's presentation) will
be done by next February. Uh, no. That's just the date for the release
of the *plan.*
And comparing it to the DTV transition implies that consumers will
be forced into equipment changes. Uh, no. They'll certainly have to
purchase new equipment if they want to take advantage of broadband
services, but unlike digital television, they'll have a choice to
stay with dialup.

Poor writing seems to have its own template. I read factual errors even in
the articles with proper grammar and good diction.
My favorite error (in the realm of the DTV transition) reported on "TV
stations moving their transmissions to the new, higher frequencies."
