The latest AT&T U-Verse device is intended to make television channel selection faster than ever. People will be able to fly through the menus, and choose their channel of interest in a matter of 1-2 seconds. This holds true for all channels, with the exception of the Public Education Government (or PEG) channels.
It takes the average person more than a minute in order to connect with their PEG channel of choice. This will be one of several reasons that PEG channel viewer memberships will rapidly drop.
This is unfortunate since often times, it is the PEG channels that relay urgent and/or life-threatening messages to the local community that they serve.
With AT&T’s disregard for PEG, channels, cable television is looking at placing these channels in butt phuk Egypt, somewhere in the 900s. This means that citizens will have to PAY for local news that could potentially save their lives… if they ever find it.
The abundantly growing use of PEG channels amongst colleges and universities is also threatened, since these channel wills no longer be closed-captioned and students will no longer be able to record their classes and watch them at their convenience.
It’s unfortunate that mass technology is looking to streamline the nation and wipe out the small communities that define it in the process. The FCC will make the final decision on whether or not this feature will be adjusted tonight.
