Sometimes the universe offers us opportunities to extend our
information to all people and sometimes we, or the Supreme Court, decide to
keep the status quo.
They did so yesterday when they ruled against the video
startup Aereo that maintains the norm for television viewers.
I’m a broadcaster. I made my living from broadcasting for
over fifty years, but I’m still in favor of new ways to pass information and
entertainment onto the general public. Cell phones, pads, and computers are the
new way. It works, so there must be a way for broadcasters to be compensated
for their content.
Aereo had a good idea, but nothing is free. Work it out and
maybe everybody can make a little money.
