As of September, according to the National Telecommunications and  
Information Administration, 26 million converter coupons have been  
requested and 10 million have been redeemed.  There are about 100  
million households in the U.S.  I know there are a lot of variables:  
how many people just want something for nothing, how many people  
ignore reality until it smacks them in the face.  But any way you  
look at it, this is a significant number.
