Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) Slaps Hard Deadline on DTV Transition

Roy Mark writes on internetnews.com:

As he promised in February, U.S. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) is moving forward with legislation to force television broadcasters out of their beachfront analog spectrum to make way for advanced services, such as wireless broadband.

Under the draft "discussion" legislation introduced this week by Barton, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, broadcasters must cease transmitting programs in analog format by December 31, 2008.
