http://www.ncta.com/pdf_files/WhitePap4-2002.pdf The Transition to Digital Television [.pdf] The National Cable and Telecommunications Association has prepared this document that summarizes the transition to digital television (DTV) in the U.S. The report, delivered in April 2002, assesses the countrys progress toward greater digital coverage and more widespread DTV programming. After a brief introduction to the technology, the report gives some background on the broadcast industrys efforts to hasten the transition and the challenges that remain. Then the changes in the cable industry are examined, including upgrades and the carriage of digital signals. Lastly, the report covers consumer response -- the sales trends of DTV sets show steady growth for the technology, but the overall transition is not proceeding as quickly as some speculated. This site is also reviewed in the June 21, 2002 NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology. From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2002. http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/
