The Day the TV Died is an article in the Wilson Quarterly, a lengthy retrospective on the history of TV standards brought up by the DTV changeover. I thought it was interesting and thought maybe others would enjoy it.

Yeah, I thought about Farnsworth when I read it. I finally decided that this article focused on the history of regulatory standards and the Farnsworth story is a 3-part dramatic miniseries.
