As MetaFacts reported last year in our Analog TV Converter Profile Report, most Analog TV Converters have gone and are going into the hands of consumers who already are subscribing to pay television. Today’s announcement that Congress has approved a delay of ending broadcast analog TV signals will give an opportunity for a reality-check. It will give governmental agencies and socially-oriented organizations time to research ways to reach the intended audience: those who will lose any TV reception. It will also give the cable and satellite companies a boost in their efforts to lure non-subscribers into signing up for pay TV. It will cause delays to AT&T, Verizon, Qualcomm and others, who have licensed the spectrum that would be available from the U.S. Government.
The Analog TV Converter Profile Report is available immediately through the MetaFacts online store.
