H. Consumer Education 125. Many commenters offered suggestions about effective means of educating consumers about the Coupon Program. While the program regulations will not directly address consumer education issues, NTIA will carefully consider the many commenters’ advice as it develops a comprehensive consumer education campaign. In addition, the comments demonstrated the link between consumer education and other aspects of the proposed Rule, such as coupon eligibility, application process and certification of eligible boxes and participating retailers. Commenters offered many useful suggestions about educating consumers about the Coupon Program. Mindful of the need to manage our consumer education resources effectively and to work cooperatively with the consumer electronics and broadcast industry, community organizations, and the FCC, NTIA will build on the commenters’ suggestions to develop a comprehensive consumer education effort.
