[Geoffrey Myers]

This off the list subject, but....

At the little get together at Denny's after the meeting last night, there
was a short discussion regarding digital TV and I had mentioned that there
was alot of talk a while back, and then it just died.  I received the
following from a company mail list regarding this subject:


>          *** DIGITAL TV STANDARDS -- Federal regulators formally proposed 
>          standards today to govern television broadcasters' transition from 
>          analog broadcast technology to high-resolution, digital 
>          technology.  The standards, developed during the last eight years 
>          by a coalition of companies and researchers known as the "grand 
>          alliance," are intended to insure a uniform transition to the 
>          digital technology, which will let TV stations transmit pictures 
>          almost as sharp as the 35-millimeter images seen in movie 
>          theaters.  The alliance includes AT&T, General Instrument, 
>          Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Philips Consumer 
>          Electronics, David Sarnoff Research Center, Thomson Consumer 
>          Electronics and Zenith Electronics. [NY Times]
