Hardly. If people haven't figured out what they need to do by now it is hard to imagine that more time will improve matters.
The idea of the government subsidizing TV viewing and even purchasing TV hardware is laughable. I want a Wii can they help me out with that?
Sure, just wiggle your way into some of that bailout money and skip the FCC altogether...
Why? Exisiting property is being made obsolete by goverment fiat. Also the federal goverment is getting almost $20 billion in revenue from the resale of the VHS frequencies previously used by TV broadcasters. Using a small portion of the revenues generated by spectrum sales (actually rentals) to help people pay for equipment to get through the transition is reasonable.
