A niggling backstory : in June , aSupreme Court opinion slam the room access in Aereo ’s face , determine that the little startup was basically a cable troupe , rather than just an innocent little provider of antennae . Now , Aereo ’s postulate that fatal - looking ruling and trying to make lemon , by apply for a licence to operate as a overseas telegram society , and therefore stay on serve .
Unfortunately for Aereo , however , U.S. District Judge Nathan today denied that licence , in a 17 - page ruling which determined that merely retransmit airwaves is n’t enough to qualify as a cable television company . However , there ’s a gleaming of hope yet : Judge Nathan specifically did n’t govern on the government issue of Aereo ’s DVR service , asking for further submissions from broadcasters on the issue .
As Gigaom points out , late legal ruling — such as those in favor of Dish ’s Hopper — make the legal ground a little more favorable for Aereo , and as a result there ’s a chance that the little cord - cutting inauguration that could might just rise again . [ Gigaom ]
