Proposal to improve a Wikipedia article as required for my NJIT Technical Writing course.

Wikipedia Article Topic: Digital Television

APA citation for the Wikipedia article: Digital Television. (2012, April 6). In Wikipedia. Retrieved April 7, 2012, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television

Wikipedia Definition:

Digital television (DTV) is the transmission of audio and video by digitally processed and multiplexed signal, in contrast to the totally analog and channel separated signals used by analog TV. Many countries are replacing broadcast analog television with digital television to allow other uses of the television radio spectrum.

Proposal:

I decided to work on this article because Digital television(DTV)is a service that we can appreciate and enjoy today because of the work of many engineers. As I skimmed through the article I notice that the article lacks information and that the definition itself could be more detailed. Digital Television is just one of many topics of high importance in the Telecomunication. As an Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) major at NJIT and I believe my contribution will improve this article. I will be expanding the definition of Digital Television and adding information on the four DTV standards worldwide.
