  1. Comment - FCC issues $6 million in DTV fines to Wal-Mart, others

    (Apr 12, 2008 - 10:37 AM)

    FCC now can regulate who buys and sells what?
    I thought they were to make sure I didn't have to listen to some radio signal hijacker?
    Yes people should be alerted to the fact that Digital TV is coming, yes a company is being shady for not advertising it.
    But lets get real, and look at just what FCC is:
    F: Federal
    C: Communication
    C: Commission
    So why do they have any right what soever to say I can't import or sell analog only equipment. If they are harping on the warning, then why should it matter who makes or imports what?
    If a product like oh say a built in screen for a work out machine, is analog and it doesn't hook up the the TV, then why would it matter to them? Kind of taking a leap outside there bounds, they deal with communication, not screens.
    Sorry FCC, but you are just being the big bully now you were created to stop.
