RFQ08000048 – Digital Television (DTV) Consumer Assistance for Converter
Box Installation
The FCC seeks grass roots organizations and community-based organizations to help educate consumers, assist with converter box procurement and installation, establish and staff help centers, and conduct post-deadline assistance. Based on the experience of other countries that have gone through the transition, it appears that a large amount of activity takes place two to four weeks before the transition deadline and then two weeks after the deadline. Therefore, planning with grass roots organizations and community-based organizations through June 2009 is extremely important. This hyperlink is the abstract of the FedBizOpps website posting.
