Scope of the High-Definition Television Market and Its Implications for Competitiveness

摘要

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) staff working paper analyzes major private forecasts of the market for high-definition television (HDTV). The study is an interim report, requested by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, on work in progress in response to an earlier request from that Committee and the Senate Budget Committee. It analyzes the economic assumptions that underlie widely used forecasts of the HDTV market, and evaluates the implications and soundness of these forecasts.
