OTI, along with Public Knowledge, Consumer Reports, and other public interest groups, oppose the National Association of Broadcaster’s (NABO) proposal to mandate a nationwide transition to a new digital over-the-air TV standard (ATSC 3.0)—thereby requiring all TV sets to have a new tuner. NAB’s plan is deeply flawed and prioritizes broadcaster profits and control at the expense of the public interest. The Commission must not authorize this under the guise of modernization.
