Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
The note critically examines the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005, arguing that its approach to the analog-to-digital transition in the U.S. was flawed. The Act's reliance on market forces and lack of comprehensive provisions, particularly in consumer education and support, led to an incomplete transition that disproportionately affected vulnerable consumers. The analysis highlights the need for stronger government intervention to ensure a smoother and more equitable process.
