FCC Fines Electronics Retailers

Thursday, April 17, 2008

The Federal Communications Commission levied nearly $6 million in fines to retailers such as Best Buy and Sears for failing to inform consumers that their new analog televisions will be obsolete with next year's digital conversion. What do you think?

Mike Pocelli,
Focus Group Coordinator
"I feel like they should also fine them for being very stressful, claustrophobic, unhappy places to shop."

Josh Brown,
Glazer
"I'm appalled that Best Buy floor reps withheld their vast knowledge and expertise from customers."

Sharoz Peterson,
Systems Analyst
"They will have no problem paying that fine; they just sold a shitload of obsolete analog televisions."
