quote:Five million American homes blacked out from their local broadcaster cries out for an examination in Washington, D.C of the decades old telecom law that encourages these impasses.
I wish DirecTV would elaborate on that statement. What changes do they think are needed to the 1996 Telecom law that would prevent these contract disputes.
DirecTV is asking for a law to force them to make deals. They want regulation so they dont have free will to turn down deals causing blackouts.
