Book excerpt: The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA), and its legislative predecessors, have served to help satellite television operators provide their subscribers with access to broadcast TV channels thus allowing these companies to compete on a level playing field with other providers in the video marketplace. The driving force behind these laws are the worthy goals of ensuring not only that consumers have access to the programming they desire, but that they have a choice of provider in a competitive marketplace that fosters better content, more services, and lower prices. These laws have helped DISH Network and DIRECTV to offer pay-TV services to millions living in areas not previously served by other pay-TV providers. With provisions in STELA set to expire, approximately 1.5 million people would be harmed.
