Internet-TV Firm Gets IAC Backing
An Internet-TV start-up backed by media veteran Barry Diller could tempt more television viewers to cut the cable cord, but it might be in for a fight from media companies.
The company, Aereo, unveiled plans on Wednesday to offer New York City residents beginning March 14 the ability to stream broadcast-TV signals over Web-enabled devices for $12 a month.
Considering Ivi.tv got shut down with an injunction last year.... http://blog.collins.net.pr/2010/10/ivi-not-gotta-licensewhatye-going-todo.html ...we'll see.

I wonder who Aereo's lawyers are? Though lets face it IAC has plenty deep pockets so expect this one to go the distance.
Cheers,
Dean
