BUSINESS BRIEFING / TELEVISION
Times Wire Reports
The agency that mails out coupons for digital TV converter boxes has received fresh funding from the economic stimulus program.
It expects to eliminate its coupon waiting list in 2 1/2 weeks. The fund that pays for the $40 coupons reached its spending limit in early January. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration was still able to mail out coupons, but only as old ones expired. It has a waiting list of 2.3 million households.
