from analog broadcast television service
to digital broadcast television service,
the Commission has been committed to
working with representatives from
industry, public interest groups, and
Congress to make the significant
benefits of digital broadcasting available
to the public. The digital transition will
make valuable spectrum available for

allowed the Commission to make
valuable 700 MHz spectrum available

and public safety organizations. The
transition will also provide consumers
with better quality television picture
and sound, and make new services
available through multicasting. These
innovations, however, are dependent
