There was this company Aereo that offered the ability to rent individual antennas in your local market and stream that over the Internet and the supreme court killed that too.

And they ruled Aereo was a cable company on the one hand so it was violating the law by not paying carriage fees…And then later when Aereo sought a compulsory license because it was a “cable company” according to the supreme court - they ruled against Aereo because it’s not a cable company.

It’s pretty obvious the public service part of OTA comes in second behind profit.
