DIRECTV and DISH Applaud Draft Satellite Bill
March 07 2014 - 11:13AM
Business Wire
DIRECTV and DISH thank Chairman Walden of the House
Communications and Technology Subcommittee for releasing the first
STELA reauthorization discussion draft.
We support this draft as an important first step in the
reauthorization of STELA. Significantly, it ensures continuity of
service to more than 1.5 million distant signal customers who
would, otherwise, lose service in December. It also addresses one
of the most egregious forms of retransmission consent abuse – joint
negotiating agreements among broadcasters.
We and our 34 million combined customers appreciate the hard
work of the Subcommittee, and we look forward to working with
Republican and Democratic members of Congress as this legislation
moves forward.
