The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) submitted data to the FCC, arguing against a mandatory ATSC 3.0 transition. The CTA emphasized that streaming services currently complement traditional broadcasting for sports access, and that 18.6 million NextGen TV sets have been sold voluntarily since 2020. The association advocates for a consumer-driven, voluntary transition to ATSC 3.0, asserting that a mandate would burden consumers with unnecessary costs.
