February 2009. That's the date that millions of old TVs will no longer be able to receive broadcasts unless a converter box is installed.
Kudos to Sony Electronics USA, who has already established a take-back program for free take-back and recycling to their customers. Sony will take back any product with their brand name on it. We can hope that other manufacturers will follow Sony's lead.
In the meantime, what can we do? Speak out, let the FCC and electronic manufacturers know that this issue must be addressed as a global issue.
