Would that not be "obsolete" well before 15 years?
I'm willing to wager that my 1976 Sony TV will still pick up off-the-
air broadcasts in 2010 and 2011. Seems that our Great Minds in Foggy
Bottom hadn't quite thought the whole thing through well enough and
the set-top converter box propsal is mired in the goo. An extension
of the deadline is viewed as a near-certainty.
