As this March edition of THE STANDARD is being published, the ATSC is convening our spring series of technical meetings in Phoenix, aka Valley of the Sun. Home to the Phoenix Model Market testbed for Next Gen TV services, the namesake of this city is a symbol of renewal, the mythological bird that flew through the air, burst into flames, and subsequently regenerated itself from its own ashes, better than before.
