Are you sure about that?



My family had a family owned restaurant in the 90's and we paid monthly royalty fees to play Nat King Cole and Michael Bolton type music during business hours. I forgot the name of the organization we paid the fee. It wasn't that much. Like $10 per month.

Not for a free Michael Bolton signal that was sent out nationally. Maybe for a Pandora type signal.
Aereon is charging maintenance on your antenna which receives a free signal and sends it to YOUR device only!
