It's finally official: The FCC said late Tuesday it had received $65.7 million from the National Telecommunications & Information Administration for DTV education and support.

Among other things, the commission will use that money to put boots on the ground and voices on the phone before and after the June 12 DTV transition hard date, when the majority of TV stations are pulling the plug on analog.
