Dear NTIA,

As a manufacture/supplier of set-top boxes, the following are
questions that I need addressing.

1. Are the purposed rules of features (RF modulator etc.) set?
2. Were do I send our converters for compliancy in regards to the
coupon program?
3. Is the date set for 2008 for the coupon program and not earlier? I
have clients that are continuously requesting boxes that we developed. I
think it would be a shame if consumers were to miss DTV programming because
the government failed to offer the incentive in lowering the costs of the
boxes.
4. In compliancy, we have added features that were outside the
requirements. In order to sell our products we have to meet the need of our
clients. I'm sure you have run into this before.

Thank you for your reply.
