Ashington reports the FCC color TV study yields only one clear result: CBS leads but no universal standard is set. The report delays a final choice, keeping RCA NBC and CBS locked in a costly, competitive scramble. Manufacturers fear anti trust trouble if they unify, while buyers face $75 adapters and $30 price bumps, totaling about $1.25 billion in added costs. Public observer Prins questions demand for color, arguing the welfare-state policy may slow progress and curb color adoption.
