NARUC: FCC Must Step In on DTV Converters

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to step in to help people whose digital-TV-to-analog converter-box coupons expired. NARUC wants the FCC to ask Congress to force the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to modify its converter box program. NARUC also called on the FCC to boost its DTV-transition-education efforts by posting a list of the features of all certified DTV-to-analog converter boxes and encouraging retailers to explain their exchange and return policies to consumers when they sell them the boxes.
