Observers say the trend toward online TV won’t be halted by Aereo’s Supreme Court setback
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Just because Aereo’s business model has been shot down by the Supreme Court, that doesn’t mean customers’ desire for a better TV experience has gone away.
People are still fed up with huge channel bundles, high prices, poor service and the lack of ability to watch all their shows on all their devices. That’s part of why Aereo was attractive: It offered local broadcast channels and a few others on multiple devices for just $8 a month.
Industry watchers say the pay TV business must continue to evolve to win over unhappy customers, even if the nation’s top court said grabbing signals from the airwaves and distributing them online without content-owner permission isn’t the way.
