I've already sent a similar comment to the FCC comment email - so call me crazy but:

1. Since when did TV (of any form) become a government subsudized right instead of a priviledge in this country? Last time I checked you could run down to your local Worst Buy and get a digital TV for less than $300. That's roughly 3 times more than what these coupons would allow for - I have to personally think that if you can't afford even a modest digital TV that maybe you shouldn'nt be spending so much time in front of an analog TV (sorry, a bit hard nose I know).

2. With all of our budget issues (republicans and democrats are equally guilty here), do we really need to be spending $1,500,000,000 on a non-essential communication protocol? Where else can we realistically use that money? Education? Healthcare reform? Social Security reform? The list is rather long.

Just my two cents...
