Anything up with HDTV Expo??

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----

This has proven a hard concept to sell to those who should
and could sponsor it. The fact that we have been a
constant beacon for HDTV going on 25 years is meaningless
to the industry. What we have done is set the Expos
temporarily aside and organized a team of world class
experts to bid on the NTIA contract -- the $150,000,000
administration of the 1 billion dollar subsidy. I will
keep you posted as to the results of our bid. I would
think that the idea of the Expo would be growing in
importance the further down the road we are to the hard
shut off date of analog terrestrial broadcasting. That,
and the fact that sales are starting to happen at retail
with cut throat prices, may cause the industry to wake up
and realize that they have to give a boost to demand.
