Aereo Responds To Broadcasters’ Lawsuit: Your Position Does Not Have “Any Merit” | TechCrunch: "Barely two weeks ago, Erick was on hand at a news conference in which Barry Diller and company presented IAC’s latest media-tech investment — a startup called Aereo. Simply put, Aereo streams broadcast TV through the browser and provides a DVR in the cloud by “miniaturizing TV antennas and packing them in equipment that sits on the network,” as Erick wrote at the time. The cloud-based service streams over-the-air channels for just $12 a month, which means that, even in spite of the unassuming size of its antennae, Aereo’s model represents a threat to the old guard.  . . .

Apple pushing ahead with plans to launch streaming TV service despite making little progress with content providers - NYPOST.com: "While Apple harbors big TV ambitions, it’s having a tough time getting media companies to play along. Apple is pushing ahead with plans to launch a streaming TV service by Christmas — despite making little headway in its negotiations with content providers, The Post has learned. For months, Apple’s point man, Eddie Cue, has been leading talks with content providers, which have largely balked at the tech giant’s efforts to exert control over all aspects of the video service, including pricing, sources said. Apple’s negotiating stance can be summed up as “we decide the price, we decide what content,” according to one source familiar with the talks. “They want everything for nothing,” said another media executive, echoing similar tense negotiations Apple has had in the past with magazine publishers and music companies. Apple is pitching the idea of offering channels as apps for its devices, including its Apple TV set-top box. It’s unclear whether it would group the apps together and charge a fee — similar to a cable-TV subscription — or offer the channels on an a la carte basis. . . . "
