1. Feature Story / WASHINGTON -- Federal law requires broadcast stations to turn off analog signals and transmit only in digital WAS EXTENDED from Feb. 18, 2009 -- to June 12th 2009.
••• But Free TV will be back in style . . . thanks to land-lines and WiFi.
2006/Imagespeople/%23AT%26TisAT%26TbackwithNBS108w.jpg••• "Today, over-the-air television using "rabbit ears and the old roof antenna" -- is regarded as sort of like the RF Wireless Telephone™ technology my grandfather, Nathan B. Stubblefield invented and Patented way back when in 1892 and 1907, respectfully," said Troy Cory-Stubblefield, of NBS100.Com. / SEE MORE AT&T - NBS STORY
••• The NBS Family Trust is the organization that still maintains and holds the original Trademark and copyright for the Wireless Telephone™ and is planing its big 100th year of wireless in 2008, one year before the digital 2009 requirement.
••• "The U.S. and Canada patents for the Wireless Telephone™ expired in 1925 and 1927, respectfully," said Troy. The Wireless Telephone™ RF spectrums themselves were confiscated by most of the governments allied to World War I, World War II.
••• The enactment of the Sedition Act of 1917 by the U.S., prevented the patent owners like Tesla and Stubblefield and others holding wartime secrets to make and voice their claims against the so-called "Regulatory Seizures and War-time policy of various governments," with threat of prison time, or as in Europe, a real-time confinement in a Nazi concentration camp. WarnerNBSPromoLogo46w.jpgFOR MORE STORY SEE NBS 100 STUDY.
••• Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich. and Nancy Zirkin, director of public policy with the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, are worried that people who need the converter-box coupons the most will be the last to learn about them. Federal law requires broadcast stations to turn off analog signals and turn on digital on Feb. 18, 2009. Will Free TV be back?
••• "YES" says attorney Charles Portz, of Portz and Portz. Rep. John Dingell will make sure the U.S. Commerce Department plans to give most anyone who applies for a $40 coupon, a chance to exchange the coupon for a "no-frills TV to Digital converter box" -- limited to two per household. The department has budgeted nearly $1.5 billion, enough for about 34 million converters. But an estimated 70 million TVs are hooked up to antennas, including extra sets in homes with cable or satellite.
••• Reuters reported on Wednesday, (March 28, 2007), that U.S. lawmakers Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Democratic Reps. Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania and Jane Harman of California were the most outspoken for the Regulatory sezure of the Analog RF frequencies.
••• It was their expressed opinions that the switch to digital television from analog should not be delayed because it is crucial that emergency services have access to freed-up airwaves to communicate.
••• "I suspect few consumers will know they will have to purchase new equipment to keep their analog sets going," said Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
••• "We will not let that date slip," Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said at a House subcommittee hearing on the status of the digital TV transition.
••• Democratic Reps. Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania and Jane Harman of California echoed his view. "We cannot violate a sacred trust to those that died on 9/11. I will do whatever I can do not to let this deadline slip," said Harman, of Venice.
••• The inability of police and fire officials to communicate during the 9/11 attacks was blamed for the deaths of New York firefighters that occurred despite a police warning when the World Trade Center towers began to collapse.
••• About 20 million households rely solely on free over-the-air television. If owners of analog sets don't get a converter box, subscribe to satellite or digital cable or replace their TV with a digital television by Feb. 17, 2009, their screens will go dark.
••• Congress has set aside as much as $1.5 billion for discount coupons to be used to buy digital converter boxes. All households with analog televisions are eligible for the $40 discount coupons to buy the boxes. However, it is not clear how the converters will be rolled out or how consumers will apply for and redeem the coupons.
•• The new "no-frills TV to Digital converter box," will enable the owner to utilize their analog antenna to view over-the-air broadcasting programing "Free." WiFi routers, and iPhones connected to land-lines in their home or office, they will be able to both view and talk to their friends with TVboxes with a few "extra" outputs. It'll really create a new experience that'll add a lot of value that will costs the consumer nothing, except for the cost of a VoIP service, says Troy."
2006/Imagespeople/%23FCCfreqForSale$15108w.jpgPart 02 / The NBS100 Regulatory Study Group says that if their study and grant program works out with the FCC, they will double the $1.5 billion, Commerce Department plans to help those needing TV-box converters. The NBS100 Regulatory Study Group also plans to introduce to U.S. Congress members, plans to build a Wi-Fi RFID network, in major Cemeteries around the world.

••• Some of the TV watchers who will have to make the transition are known as cable rejecters -- people who can afford pay TV but choose not to get it.
••• For broadcasters, who base their advertising rates on the number of viewers watching, the transition looms as the dawn of a new digital era -- and a potential financial disaster if viewers aren't informed.
••• "The last thing we want is a train wreck on Feb. 18 of 2009," said Dennis Wharton, vice president of the National Assn. of Broadcasters, which represents local stations and TV networks.
Free TV will be back in style.
••• Broadcasters are hoping that more viewers will hook up antennas to their digital sets and get hooked on free TV.
••• Broadcasters are eager for the switch. They think viewers will buy digital sets to receive high-definition programming and the additional channels the technology allows. Stations also would significantly cut their energy costs because they won't have to transmit both analog and digital signals.
••• One in 5 U.S. households -- more than a million in the Los Angeles area -- depend on rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna to watch TV. Without converter boxes, most of their sets will go blank the day in 2009 that federal law requires broadcast stations to turn off analog signals and transmit only in digital.
••• The shift is being hailed as broadcast television's most dramatic upgrade since it bloomed to color from black and white half a century ago. The technology gives free TV viewers vastly sharper pictures and enables networks such as ABC and PBS to offer a wider range of channels.
••• The 80% of Americans with cable or satellite service won't be affected by the change. Neither will those who have newer, digital TV sets. If you do have an old analog TV hooked up to an antenna, you need only buy a converter box, which will probably cost about $50. The federal government is going to hand out subsidies to help pay for it, and you have two years to get ready.
•••Civil rights leaders and lawmakers are also uneasy. "Any way you look at it," says Troy, "They are the folks who should join in on our NBS100 grass-roots program we have termed: "Our WiFi "Teléph-on-délgreen" Wireless Video Telephone Systems in Major Cemeteries Around the World. Analog Plus RFID Project." SEE MORE "RFid STORY.
••• A recent poll found that 61% of people who rely on broadcast TV aren't aware of the digital shift. What's more, households without cable or satellite service tend to have lower incomes, and blacks and Latinos are more likely to receive only over-the-air TV than whites.
••• "When I walk into people's houses, they're tuned in to the news," said Alex Nogales, president of the Los Angeles-based National Hispanic Media Coalition. He is testifying on the digital-TV transition before a House subcommittee today. "Am I concerned that our community is going to be left out? Of course."
/Imagespeople/%23NBSvsFCCportz108w.jpgPart 03 / THE BIG SWITCH TO DIGITAL
••• Once TV has gone digital, a wide swath of the analog airwaves will go for free to public safety organizations, such as police and fire departments, so they can improve their communications systems. The rest will be auctioned off by the government, with major telecommunications firms such as AT&T Inc. and possibly even Web giants such as Google Inc. expected to pay as much as $10 billion to use it for wireless high-speed Internet service. SEE MORE PORTZ NBS $30-BILLION STORY. / MORE STORY ABOUT AT&T
••• For some TV viewers, the continuing digital conversion already has launched a new era. They're discovering that those relics of the pre-cable era -- antennas -- can deliver sharp programs, many in high-definition.
••• That's because digital broadcasts offer clear, vivid reception over the free airwaves. And broadcasters can transmit several additional channels on the same frequency because the signals take up fewer airwaves than analog. For example, NBC affiliates have started offering a digital 24-hour weather station.
••• "When people see the picture quality of [digital] over-the-air -- and it's free -- it's kind of mind-blowing," said Kevin Nakano, a 42-year-old electrical engineer who has already made the switch to digital broadcasts at his south Torrance home.
••• Digital TV sets are sharp enough to make the new broadcast signals look great, and the Consumer Electronics Assn. said sales of digital TVs outpaced those of analog sets for the first time last year. Plus, prices are dropping -- standard digital TVs are projected to average $901 this year and high-definition sets, $1,150.

• Traditional TV
••• Since its birth, TV, like the Wirelewss Telephone™ of the early 1900s, has broadcast in analog, with relatively low-resolution signals that use large amounts of airwaves.
••• But many people haven't chosen to skip the digital TV revolution -- they just haven't been able to afford it.
••• A 2005 Government Accountability Office survey found that 48% of households receiving only broadcast TV through antennas had incomes of less than $30,000, compared with 29% of households with cable or satellite service.
••• The federal government's plan to raise public awareness has been criticized as inadequate. The administration is budgeting only $5 million to notify nearly 300 million Americans about the transition. By way of comparison, the German city of Berlin spent $1 million to notify its 3.4 million residents of a similar shift in 2004.
••• Worried that people would be caught off guard, Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has suggested that Congress could delay the transition date. It has already pushed back the roll out once.
••• But advocates say another delay is unlikely, so they've got to start spreading the word.
••• Nancy Zirkin, director of public policy with the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, is worried that people who need the converter-box coupons the most will be the last to learn about them.•••

*The technology
•• Traditional Wireless Telephone™ RF spectrums are now called radio, television and Cell Phone / vPhone spectrums. Since the birth of the Wireless Telephone™ (Patented: 1908), its RF or radio spectrums have been broadcast in analog, with relatively low-resolution signals that use large amounts of airwaves.
••• Now Digital TV or its Digital signals can carry sharper pictures and take up less of the airwaves, allowing broadcasters to transmit several programs at the same time.
••• High-Definition TV -- Digital TV also allows for even higher-resolution pictures in a wide-screen format, known as high-definition, but this format takes up more of the airwaves than a standard digital signal.
••• Source: Federal Communications Commission
*Making the switch
••• Sales of digital TVs have outpaced analog sets
••• Percentage of U.S. households by TV reception in 2005
••• Cable: 57%
••• Satellite: 19%
••• Over-the-air antenna: 19%
••• Other or none: 5%
••• Many antenna users are in lower income brackets
••• Percentage of over-the-air TV households and TV subscribers earning under $30,000 a year
••• Over the air: 48%
••• Cable: 29%
••• Satellite: 29%
••• ---
••• Minorities are more likely to use antennas / Percentage of racial minorities and whites using over-the-air TV
••• Nonwhite: 23%
••• White: 16%
