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.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

Just my two cents...
