[opendtv] Hearing

If there were to be a hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee on such 
things as reception requirements of an 8-VSB receiver such as the one 
proposed to be subsidized, should we consider switching to or allowing 
another DTV modulation and how important is it that the transition be 
based on MPEG4 AVC instead of MPEG2 and who should be the witnesses at 
this proposed hearing?

What documents, papers and statements should be forwarded to the 
Committee before hand to help parties that might consider such a 
hearing? Answer: All of them that are forwarded to me.

I am talking about  a hearing that would have a whole new cast of 
characters than the ones that the House and Senate have been holding 
over the years.

My suggestions would include engineers, compression specialist, 
broadcasters, receiver specialist for DVB-T, ISDB-T, DMB-T and 8-VSB.

This is not a fishing expedition. Someone has asked me to put this together.

I will forward all documents, papers and statements sent to me on the 
above subjects and on the proposed witness list as they come to me and 
as is. In this case I cannot say who is asking for this.

A list that I propose would include

Mark Aitken, Craig Birkmaier, Mark Schubin, Frank Eory, Steven Long, 
William Smith of KET, Dermot Nolan, William Schreiber Professor Emeritus 
of MIT, Richard Bogner formerly of Bogner Antenna, John Gabriel 
compression specialist and Meric Adriansen engineer who worked on COFDM 
testing at ABC. Only because these are people I know and respect (and 
most likely to have a similar point of view to mine).

Anything you send me will go out to DC the same day as is.
