Who among you has determined to close the doors to your shop once HDTV
broadcast is mandated in 2008 (or is that 2006, they keep changing their
damn minds)?
I was just curious how many people this move will drive right out of
business due to the burdens placed on them -- i.e., all new test equipment
must be purchased for the new format; ever-worsening support from
manufacturers; the new and increasingly more reliable, lower-power display
technologies in the not-too-distant future.

Despite all the bunk I keep reading in ES&T about NESDA & NARDA working with
manufacturers to make the market more servicer-friendly, I continue to find
the reverse seems to be the case, and fully expect it to only get worse.

How many of you actually see a bright future in servicing consumer
electronics?
