Konke Ngale 2009 Initiative NTIA
Uhlelo lwekhuphoni lwe-digital-to-analog lokuguquguqula ibhokisi lombangela wenguquko yedijithali, eyenzeka ngoJuni 12, 2009. Uhlelo lokuxhaswa lwasungulwa ukuze lunikeze ababukeli bethelevishini abangekho ngaphezulu ukuthi baqhubeke bethola idijithali yamahhala ngaphezulu -the-air services zethelevishini ngemuva kokuba isevisi yethelevishini yesizwe ishintshelwe ekudlulisweni kwedijithali nokudluliselwa kwe-analog kwaphela.
Ngenxa yokuthi abantu abaningi babedinga ukuthenga ibhokisi lokuguqula i-DTV , uhulumeni wase-US uqale uhlelo lwe-isigqebhezana sama-$ 40 ukuze kusize ukunciphisa umthwalo wezimali abathengi abangase bazizwe ngenxa yombuso we-digital TV. Amakhuphoni ahlinzekwa nguhulumeni ngenxa yokushintsha imithetho mayelana nokusakaza okungaphezulu kwe-air, okwakudinga ukusakaza konke ukushintshela kufomethi yedijithali kuphela.
Amabhokisi wokuguqula ama-digital-to-analog enza amashidi e-DTV abukwe kumafomethi we-analov TV. Lawa mabhokisi okuguqula ayatholakala ezitolo zokuthengisa ngesikhathi sokuguqulwa

Ngomzamo wokuvimbela umthelela wezezimali kumakhaya e-analog TV, iNational Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) yoMnyango Wezohwebo Wase-United States wenza uhlelo lwekhuphoni lwe-converter olwaluvumela imindeni ye-analog TV ukuba icele amakhuphoni ama-$ 40 okuthenga i-digital ibhokisi lokuguquguqula-to-analog. Lolu hlelo lwalujabulela ukuvela embonini yokusakaza kanye nabathengi be-electronics kanye namaqembu ezithakazelo zomphakathi.
Lolu hlelo lwaqala kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2008, nangomhla ka-Mashi 31, 2009. Kusukela ngoJulayi 31, 2009, abathengi abakwazi ukuthola amakhuphoni mahhala avela kuhulumeni wase-United States ukuthenga ibhokisi lokuguqula idijithali.
Izinsizakalo zohlelo lwekhuphoni
Uhlelo lwekhuphoni lwaba ngu-$ 990 million ngezimali eziqhubekayo ze-$ 510 million ukuze kubasebenzisi be-OTA kuphela. Uthole imali eyengeziwe ngo-2009 ngenxa yokuthandwa kwayo. Nakhu okuyisisekelo saloluhlelo:
- Amakhuphoni anenani elilinganiselwa ku-$ 40 ngalinye
- Amakhuphoni amabili kuphela angacelwa ekhaya ngalinye
- Ikhuphoni elilodwa kuphela elingasetshenziswa ukuthengwa kwebhokisi ngalinye lokuguqula
- Amakhuphoni alandelwa ngekhompiyutha
- Amakhuphoni aphelelwe yisikhathi ezinsukwini ezingu-90
Uhlelo luvumele abantu abakhuphoni abaphelelwe yisikhathi ukuba babuyekeze kuze kube yisikhathi sokugcina ngohlelo ngoJulayi 2009.
Imiphumela
Phakathi kwamabili ngoJulayi 31, 2009, lolu hlelo luphelelwe yisikhathi, ngaphandle kokwandiswa. Ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi, abathengi benza izicelo ezingama-35,000 zamakhuphoni ngosuku, ngezingxenye ezingaphezu kwesigamu lezo ezikhishwe ukusetshenziswa. Kodwa ngo-July 30, inani lezicelo lalinganiselwa ku-78,000, futhi ngosuku lokugcina, kutholakale abangu-169,000. Izicelo ezithunyelwe ngeposi nge-postmark ka-Julayi 31 noma ngaphambili zacutshungulwa; imali engaba yizigidi ezingamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-300. Ngo-Agasti 5, 2009, abathengi basebenzisa amakhuphoni angu-33,962,696.
I-NTIA ithe amakhuphoni angu-4,287,379 ayeceliwe kepha ayengakhululwa.
