July 7, 2008: Congressman Gonzalez Hosts DTV Forum
San Antonio, TX - On Saturday, July
12th, 2008, Congressman Charlie Gonzalez (TX-20) will host a free constituent
forum on the digital television conversion. Effective February 17, 2009, all
television broadcasting will become digital, meaning that consumers who receive
their television signals from rabbit ear or rooftop antennas will no longer
receive a signal. Their future options include purchasing a new television with
a built-in digital tuner, subscribing to cable or satellite service, or
purchasing a digital-to-analog converter box.
June 27, 2008: Gonzalez Statement on AT&T Decision to Relocate to Dallas
San Antonio, TX - Congressman Charlie Gonzalez
(TX-20) issued the following statement on AT&T's announcement that they are
relocating its headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas:
"I'm obviously
disappointed by this news; AT&T has clearly experienced substantial growth
since its move to San Antonio over a decade ago and as a result has made this
decision based on their new demands."
"Nevertheless, they will continue
to have a substantial presence in San Antonio,
one that is unaffected by the relocation of its headquarters to Dallas. I'm confident that
San Antonio will
continue to play an instrumental role in the AT&T family in the future, and
I look forward to discussing these plans with
AT&T."
