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.
