When​ high-definition television​ (HDTV) was first considered a possibility in the United​ States, the U.S. government held a competition to select the technical standards that would be used nationwide. Why would the government see an advantage to setting one​ standard?

Answer:

High definition television also called advanced television because of the technological innovations used in its manufacturing. It has improved the quality of picture films and ensured high-quality sound and there termed as the next generation of television. The government planned to set for one standard because a new product in the market whose standard is not set could result in inferior quality. Secondly, one standard allows the states to work together and expand their commercial ties.
