Authorizing Permissive Use of the “Next Generation” Broadcast Television Standard

In this document, the Commission proposes to authorize television broadcasters to use the "Next Generation" broadcast television transmission standard associated with recent work of the Advanced Television Systems Committee on a voluntary, market-driven basis, while they continue to deliver current-generation digital television broadcast service, using the ATSC 1.0 standard, to their viewers. This new standard has the potential to greatly improve broadcast signal reception and will enable broadcasters to offer enhanced and innovative new features to consumers.
