I guarantee that with all of our TV sets, outdated broadcast equipment, and everything else, that we could use a fraction of the "green money" used for all this fraudulent e-waste disposal, and send all our "e-waste" to poor countries around the world where they would appreciate being able to set up TV stations, and for the common man to have a TV set where they probably barely have radios now. Not to mention Mexico, where used TV sets are still a hot commodity.

Sounds like a great idea for any country that uses the NTSC system. I don't know if any poor countries use it.
