As Congress considers reauthorize the Satellite Home Viewer Act, House Telecommunication Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher (D-VA) sees two major questions: 1) should satellite providers offer local service to all 210 market areas nationwide and 2) should there be a general rule for signals where market areas straddle state lines. "Harmonization for harmonization sake has never made a whole lot of sense," says Chairman Boucher who believes that there are key differences between cable and satellite systems and lawmakers should carefully weigh calls to unify the platforms' statutory language.
