Last week the U.S. Senate approved a bill that would delay the United States’ transition to digital television until June 12, 2009—and while a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives last week failed to get the two-thirds majority required under rules adopted for the vote, White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs has said the newly-installed Obama administration expects the U.S. House will approve the legislation.
The new vote will apparently use simpler rules that allow for a simple majority vote to pass the bill.
