Yes $1 billion for coupons is a lot of money, but it is only made possible because of the digital conversion and it came out of the almost $20 billion they received from auctioned off the extra spectrum. Think of it this way, if the government did not 'force' a digital conversion, we won't have to spend $1 billion for the coupons, but we also won't received almost $20 billion, so the net is a big fat zero for doing nothing, not to mention still watching crappy black & white TV (j/k) versus getting $16-$17 billion even after paying for all of the expenses for the conversion and watching crystal clear free HD TV, which one would you choose, hmmm.... I wonder $0 + black & white TV or $16 billion and HD TV?
