My position is that the Traditional Free OTA Broadcasters will benefit by joining forces in some way with Aereo , Would give both parties huge leverage in the market place. To stop the FCC Federal Communications Commission and the International cell phone and broadband companies from buying or stealing more broadcast Tv channels.

Let me see if I have this straight. They put zillions of tiny antennas together in an array, so subscribers can ?rent? the use of one of the antennas, which then sends the (currently New York) signal to the subscriber just like a slingbox. Since the teeny antennas are arrayed, reception is great and everyone is happy. And as long as subscriber is renting his or her little antenna -- no copyright issues!!

I laughed for about five minutes when I figured out what the heck's going on. Luv it!

NY Times article: Aereo: Streaming Local TV, For a Fee

From the article:

Aereo picks up local broadcast channels like Fox and ABC and streams them over the Internet to mobile devices and TV sets. Its subscribers, who can record shows to watch later, pay fees starting at $8 a month." ...
