A small correction - as I read it, the "self-certification" provision only applies to the *additional* $450, not the original $890:
From the CNET article:
"If that initial $890 million worth of coupons run out, NTIA has the power to ask Congress to hand over an additional $450 million, creating up to 11,250,000 more vouchers. *Those* [emphasis mine - BC] coupons would be reserved, however, for households that self-certify that they rely solely on over-the-air broadcasts, as opposed to cable or satellite."
and from TWICE:
"However, if the additional funds are needed, eligibility for those coupons will be limited exclusively to over-the- air-only television households, according to NTIA rules. Consumers requesting coupons *from these contingent funds* [emphasis mine - BC] must self-certify to NTIA that they do not subscribe to cable, satellite or other pay television services."
