Solve : FCC kills TV w/ Facebook? |
|
Answer» FCC KILLS TV with Facebook. Yes, that sounds very inflammatory. But this is not my idea, this is what others are saying on the Internet and in news media. We all know that the FCC is the federal agency that controls television and radio broadcasting in the United States. It also has a lot of power over telephone and Internet services. Recently FCC made a change to TV broadcasting Oover the air television broadcasting had to be done in digital rather than the analog format. That's now history. Some people are still confused because they have television sets, VCRs and similar equipment that no longer works the WAY it used to. And as for the set top converter BOXES, they now are no longer available in department stores at reasonable prices. We were told they would be available for about $40. Now forget about that. Some new developments have come up recently. They are in three related areas. In brief the three items are: 1.the FCC wants to standardize set top boxes for your television set and these must have an Ethernet connection that will allow you to tie into a broadband service provider. 2.and the FCC is now asking that commercial TV stations give up about 120 MHz of spectrum space. Apparently the federal agency now thinks that the commercial broadcasting industry has got more than what it needs. 3.Recently the FCC has been citing the interest in social networks as being a popular alternative to watching TV. In particular, Face-book is given as a possible alternative to watching reruns of "Scrubs." You can do the research yourself by just going on to your favorite search engine can enter something like "FCC kills TV" or maybe "new set top box with Internet" or even just enter the words "FCC Facebook" and see what you get. Here is the source for the subject line of this post. Quote The FCC Wants To Kill Your TVYes, that is now an old story, Ironically that was about protecting our children! Now the FCC really will kill TV in a way we did not expect! Just now the FCC is getting around to doing it. If you were watching CSPAN you saw the debate over the new ideas they have that will destroy local TV as we know it and open our living rooms to more threats to our children that ever before.
