andreychukuze.blogspot.com
The switch to digital broadcasts, whicyh frees up bandwidth for other communications uses such as publiv safetyfirst responders, was scheduled to be completedx Feb. 17, but was postponed becausde about 6 million households were still unpreparecd to continue receiving a signal on thei r television sets and government funds to subsidize purchase of converter boxes hadrun out. The converter boxez are necessary to allow households with televisions receivintg analog signals to also receive the newdigitao signals.
New antennas for some televisions also will be necessaryh to provide the best reception after the With the extension of the digital televisiobntransition deadline, another $650 million was added to the $1.5 billioh initially committed to the transition, including the $40 coupohn program and other and preparedness programs. Now, the latest industryt estimates indicate that the number of unpreparedd households has been cut nearly in TheNielsen Co. and NAB, the , put the unprepared households numberbetween 2.8 million and three million, accordinbg to recent measures by each entity.
That’e about 12 percent of at-risj households that could still lose accesss to important news and alerts when the switch accordingto NAB’s latest survey completed by SmithGeigedr LLC June 3. However, 3 percenft of those households have either applied for or received a convertetr box coupon fromthe government, accordingg to the survey. While commissioners at the Federapl Communications Commission are anticipating a smoothef transition than they say would have occurredin February, they will spend $40 million to staff call centerxs across the country. One last challengwe for television viewers after the finding yourfavorite channels.
On June 12, some digital stationsx already on the air will change channel To ensure televisions receive all available stations broadcastingf in aparticular market, viewerw may need to force their digital televisions or set-top converter boxeas to “auto tune,” or re-scan, for all available channels.

Cashing in on aging boomers - San Antonio Business Journal:
onoeuqedol1902.blogspot.com
“People wanted nothing to do with thematurwe market,” said Maddy Dychtwald, senior vice president of the compant in San Francisco. Now, the consumerr products and servicesindustryy can’t stop thinking about the mature market, especiallgy since a baby boomer turns 50 every 8½ At 78 million people, boomers represengt one-third of all adults in the United States. They control half of the nation’ s wealth and, at least beforwe the recession, were spending $2 trillion on consumer products and servicesa year. Boomers were expected to accoungt for about 40 percent of spendingby 2015, accordingh to a report in 2007.
So, retaileres and marketers are eager to figures out how to reachthis generation. Some in the consume products and services industry are gettingbit right, while many otherws still have much to learnn — and lose, said experts who specializde in marketing to baby boomers. Marketinhg to this 19-year generatiojn is proving tricky. Although boomers are lumped together, they’rw a diverse group with divergent life experiencews given that they range in age from 44to 63. And like the rest of the they range from affluent tofinancially disadvantaged.
The way to market to boomers is by individual life stagssegments — such as empty-nesters and grandparentsw — without mentioning age, consultants said. “They refuse to be calle d seniors. That is the worst thinb you can do to this saidAlice Jacobs, a Roseville baby boomerd who advises companies on generational marketin and teaches seminars and classes on the topic, includinhg through UC Davis Extension. Although generalizinfg of boomers should bedone sparingly, older baby boomeras refuse to grow up.
They thinkl old age starts around 75or 80, said Matt founder of , a marketing researchy and consulting firm in Boomers see themselves as vibrant and They like trying new services and despite the myth that they are brand-loyal, spokesman Anthongy Deluise said. The association of people 50 and oldert no longeruses “retired” in its Boomers like print advertising because they want lots of information. Boomerd also pay attention to new media, and will click on eye-catchinv Internet ads. This generation also likeds products, services and shopping experiences that make them feel specialoand pampered, consultants said. They don’t want to merelh eat or buy things.
They want to they want experiences. This is especiall y true since therecession started. Many boomerss who are 60 had expected to retire over the nextfive Now, they will likely work an extraw three to five years because of their hard-hit investments and pensions, Dychtwaldc said. The good news is they won’ t be on a fixed income and willstill spend. But theifr free time will be more More boomers will be working and raising childre or grandchildren while also dealinf with their ownsick parents. As a result, “experiencde over things become Dychtwald said. “There is a real shift gointg on right now on what peoplerare valuing.
” Boomers in particular want to be responsible “It’s not about buying stuff to have stuff,” Thornhilkl said. Lifestyle centers — which combinde upscale storeswith restaurants, entertainment and comfortable places to linger — provide the experiencew that boomers want. Local examples are Sacramento’s Pavilionsw center and The Fountainsin

“I am incredibly grateful for the supportg and trust the people of Minnesots have given me during my two termseas Governor,” Pawlenty said at a press conferencee Tuesday afternoon, adding, “When it comeas to how long someone should stay in an electer position, a little less is better than too He didn't say what he planned to do aftere leaving state office, but attentioh immediately focused on a potentiao presidential run. The Republican governor’s nationall profile was raised last year when he campaignesd heavilyfor Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid and was often mentioned as apossiblew vice-presidential candidate for the Arizona senator.
McCainm wound up picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin But Pawlenty remains in the frony ranks of possible GOP contenderxin 2012. At the same time, running for a thirdx term might have been risky for He didn't get more than 50 percent of the vote in eithert of the gubernatorial races he won, winningy a three-way race against DFL leadet Roger Moe and Tim Penney in 2002 and edgingb out challenger and former state Attorney Generak Mike Hatch by 1 percent in 2006.
With the state' fortunes currently sagging and Pawlenthy poised to make some potentially unpopularbudgetg cuts, he could have been vulnerable to a challenge next His decision also throws into question who will run for governord next year: State Sen. Geoff Michel (R-Edina) and Charlis Weaver, head of the Minnesota Business Partnership and a formerPawlenty aide, have both been mentioned as potential candidates, as has Hous Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher (DFL-Minneapolis).
