The old way is out and the new way is in. The manner in which you are presently engaged will cease to exist. You must change. You will have no choice!<\/p>\n

The date of the metamorphosis has been announced. February 17, 2009 <\/a>is the day of reckoning. You will either change or be left in the dark. Period!<\/p>\n

“By law, all full-power television stations nationwide must switch from the old method of transmitting TV signals known as analog to digital television (DTV) on February 17, 2009. While the benefits of DTV are remarkable, millions of households risk losing television reception unless they take the easy steps to receive a digital signal.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The cable industry and entertainment industry are taking the necessary, almost beyond necessary, steps to ensure that their customer base knows that in about a year, the way they currently are doing things will change forever. You either change or you will not be able to watch television.<\/p>\n

Imagine that, an industry not debating change but mandating it. Imagine that, an industry that has decided that the manner in which they have done something is obsolete. Imagine that, an industry that was willing to embrace change because it actually IMPROVES<\/strong> the consumer’s experience.<\/p>\n

Who would have thought it possible that an industry could do this? Who would have thought that an industry would want to do this?<\/p>\n

Why make such a sweeping change? Well research determined that DTV is a “more flexible and efficient technology <\/em><\/strong>than the current analog system”.<\/p>\n

Since digital television is a more efficient use of technology than analog television, the “turning-off” of the old way of broadcasting televised programming it will also free up parts of the airwaves so that incentive for even further innovation is provided to ambitious entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

So not only is there going to be a change to improve the consumers experience, the change is being made to facilitate the progress of future enhancement by others.<\/p>\n

Imagine that, an industry that not only embraces change but does so in order for others in the business to succeed as well..<\/p>\n
