What a good laugh I had.
Here's the true problem:
"Saying that only 28 days after the inauguration Americans would wake up
to find their analog TV's no longer able to receive an over-the-air
signal-and pointing to the decision on the date made in 2005 and
implemented by the outgoing administration-Podesta urged them to
'consider a change to the legislatively mandated cut-off date.'"
Which I will rephrase:
"Saying that only 28 days after the inauguration Americans would wake up
to find their analog TV's no longer able to receive an over-the-air
signal, and these Americans being unaware that the switchover date
decision was made back in 2005, the new Obama Administration would get a
premature black eye."
Let's see if Verizon and AT&T start howling.
Also, I don't care when the switchover date is set, someone will
complain that people aren't ready yet.
