[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) have asked the president to create an inter-agency DTV task force. In a letter to the president released Tuesday, the chairmen of the Senate Commerce Committee and House Energy & Commerce Committee, respectively, said that the FCC should lead the task force, which should concentrate on educating consumers about the DTV transition. The pair cited a GAO study that concluded the DTV transition/education effort lacks coordination.
