Back in the day, Satellite Television Service was suppossed to be
beamed directly into every subscriber's home via a dish. Then a buncha
"entrepenuers" got together and petitioned the government with the
mission statment of "You don't want all those ugly satellite receivers
on top of everyone's home. Let us set up a receiver somewhere wher it
won't be seen and transmit the signals into their homes via cable."
And the dipstick politicans in charge signed the bill into law with
the only exceptions being (A) those who already had a dish or (B)
those who lived in an area with no cable service. In our area (Western
New York) deals were quickly made to ensure exclusive rights (aka
Monopoly) in any given township or city. Then we had to dance to their
tune. Fortunately Dishnet and DirecTV fought that law in court and
won, allowing home satellite service (which I have and LOVE!!!!)
The dipstick that signed the cable bill into law was Ronnie Ray-gun.
