Konke malunga nale Nkqubo yokuqala ye-NTIA ka-2009
Inkqubo yekhuphoni ye-digital-to-analog yebhokisi yekhuphoni yiphumo lokuguquguquka kwedijithali, eyenzeka ngomhla ka-Juni 12, 2009. Inkqubo yenkxaso-mali yenziwe ukuba inike ababukeli bee-TV abanomgangatho ongezantsi ukuba baqhubeke befumana idijithali yamahhala ngaphezulu iinkonzo zethelevishini emva kokuba i-TV yelizwe itshintshwe kwi-digital transmission kunye ne-analog transmissions.
Ngenxa yokuba abaninzi abantu babefuna ukuthenga ibhokisi yeguqulelo ye- DTV , urhulumente wase-US uqalise inkqubo ye-coupon ye-$ 40 yokunceda ukunciphisa umthwalo wemali abathengi abanokuvakalelwa ngenxa yesigunyaziso se-TV ye-digital. Amakhuphoni anikezelwa nguRhulumente ngenxa yokuguqula imithetho malunga nokusasazwa kwe-air, okwakudinga ukuba bonke abasasazo batshintshele kwifomati kuphela.
Ibhokisi yokuguqula idijithali kuya ku-analog eyenziwe i-DTV isignali ebonakalayo kwiisethi ze-analog zeTV. Ezi bhokisi zenguqu zazifumaneka kwiivenkile zokuthengisa ngexesha loguquko
Inkqubo yeComputer yeNobumba ye-Analog Converter
Kwimizamo yokunciphisa impembelelo yemali kwimimandla ye-analog TV, i-National Telecommunications kunye noLawulo loLwazi (NTIA) yeSebe laseMelika loRhwebi liphuhlise inkqubo yekhuphoni ye-converter eyayivumela imindeni ye-analog TV ukuba icele amakhonkta amabini ama-40 ekuthengeni i-digital ibhokisi yokuguqula i-analog. Le nkqubo inenxaxheba kwiinkampani zokusasaza kunye nabathengi ngekhompyutha kunye namaqela anomdla woluntu.
Inkqubo yavela ngoJanuwari 1, 2008, kwaye ngoMatshi 31, 2009. Ngomhla ka-Julayi 31, 2009, abathengi abanako ukufumana iikhuphoni zamahhala ezivela kwi-Rhulumente wase-United States ukuthenga ibhokisi yokuguqula idijithali.
Isiseko seNkqubo yeConponsi
Iprogram yekhuphoni yaba ngama-dollar ayi-990 yezigidi ngeengxowa-mali eziqhubekayo ze-510 yezigidi ze-OTA abasebenzisi kuphela. Yathola inkxaso eyongezelelweyo ngo-2009 ngenxa yokuthandwa kwayo. Nantsi iziseko zeprogram:
- Iibhondi ezixabisekileyo kwi-40 nganye nganye
- Kuphela kucelwa iikhuphoni ezimbini kwikhaya
- Ikhuphoni elinye kuphela lingasetyenziselwa ukuthenga ibhokisi nganye
- Iikhonkoni zalandelwa ngekhompyutha
- Iibhuphoni zaphela kwiintsuku ezingama-90
Iprogram yavumela abantu abanokupheliswa kweemakhonsoni ukuba baphinde baxhomeke kude kube yinkqubo yokugqibela ngoJulayi 2009.
Iziphumo
Phakathi kobusuku ngoJulayi 31, 2009, le nkqubo yaphela, ngaphandle kwandiswa. Ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi, abathengi benza izicelo ezingama-35,000 zamakhonsoni ngosuku, kunye nehafu engaphezu kwesiqingatha ezikhutshwayo zisetyenzisiweyo. Ngo-Julayi 30, ke, inani lezicelo lilonke lilinganiselwa kuma-78,000, kwaye ngosuku lokugqibela, i-169,000 yamkelwa. Izicelo zithunyelwe ngeposi ngeposi yokuposa kaJulayi 31 okanye ngaphambili zacutshungulwa; malunga nezigidi ezingama-300 zezimali. Ngo-Agasti 5, 2009, abathengi basebenzise amakhuphoni angama-33,962,696.
I-NTIA yathi i-4.287,379 iikhuphoni zacelwa kodwa zazingakhululwa.
