It seems like the FCC is making room for startups and the little guys as well as the mega-corporations with TV streaming over the Internet by making a slight change in the current law. It seems like Aereo just didn’t hold their mouth just right in asking for acceptance, maybe they are due for another bite at the apple soon.

Analysts have said that this shift could mean an influx of competition into the TV industry, as well as rapid growth for television delivered over the Internet.

More like Aereo didn't bring enough suitcases with money.
 
If the FCC really wants to help, they will put an end to home internet bandwidth caps and usage based billing.
 
Only way to make this happen is ban bandwidth caps. If they fix the regulation it won't do much if no one can watch it because they reached their BW cap in the first week (or few days).
 
Aereo didn't play the game correctly. I think they pissed off the FCC and every large broadcaster.
Who gives campaign contributions? Who owns stock and might even sit on the board of several of these companies? Hint: not Aereo.
