Comment What about rural areas? (Score 2, Interesting) 930
I'm from a very small farming community. They don't have cable, they don't have high speed internet, the cows out number the people there.
To get channels besides local stations people have to get satellite. It's not that bad really, I like satellite more than I like cable. But didn't congress pass a law several years ago saying satellite providers couldn't carry local channels and they couldn't provide locals from other markets?
So congress (in effect) is saying that they can't have antenna's to watch local TV, and they can't use satellite to watch local TV, but they don't get cable to be able to watch.
