The TDCA further states that ``[a]s new technology is developed, the Commission shall take such action as the Commission determines appropriate to ensure that closed-captioning service continues to be available to consumers.'' The Commission adopted rules to implement the provisions of the TDCA in 1991. The rules, in Section 15.119, provide standards for the display of closed captioned text on analog television receivers, the only receivers in use at that time. The introduction of digital broadcasting now requires the Commission to update its rules to fulfill its continuing obligations under the TDCA. The Commission's DTV proceeding incorporated an industry approved transmission standard for DTV broadcasts into its rules. The standard
