Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Search Search: House fails to pass DTV delay bill Reuters - 2 hours 7 minutes ago WASHINGTON - An effort to delay the nationwide switch to digital television signals by about four months failed in the House of Representatives on Wednesday. The legislation, which has the backing of President Barack Obama and already passed the Senate, failed to gain two-thirds support in the House under special rules adopted for the vote. Consumers groups have been pushing the effort to delay the transition date to June 12 from February 17, worried that 20 million mostly poor, elderly and rural households are not ready for the congressionally mandated switch. "It's really unfortunate," said Joel Kelsey, an analyst at Consumers Union. "Consumers are staring at a big, fat, unfunded mandate in the midst of an economic crisis." More than one million people are on a waiting list for $40 government coupons to subsidize the cost of converter boxes needed by those with older televisions. The agency that runs the program ran out of coupons earlier this month. Democrats may try again next week, but this time in a way that would possibly permit amendments and require a simple majority to pass. If the House approves any changes, the bill would have to return to the Senate for final passage. Under the version that passed the Senate, licenses for $16 billion worth of spectrum freed up by the switch, and purchased by AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications, would be extended by about four months.
