Back in 2001/2002, in the Bay Area, I remember when whoever it was that broadcasts the West Wing (NBC?) got into some snippet with whoever was my satellite vendor (Dish? Direct TV) was - and I could no longer get any of the NBC channels on my Satellite Dish. So, not only is there some fee structure, obviously it's high enough that the Satellite Provider I had refused to pay for it. Aero completely bypasses that model, and I can see all sorts of other businesses coming into this space (now that Aero has done the hard work of establishing this as legal in the courts) - I can see why Fox/NBC/CBS etc... feel very, very threatened.
