NextMarket Startup Insight: Aereo




The Spoon show

Summary: It's not often we see an entirely new approach to bringing TV entertainment to consumers, but Aereo has done just that. In early 2012, the startup launched a service that brought residents of New York City local broadcast channels over the Internet. The service, based on a technology that utilizes thousands of tiny receiver antennas in one centralized location, is available for an annual, monthly or even day-pass subscription. I caught up with the company's CEO, Chet Kanojia, a few weeks ago, where we discussed the history of the company, the "Cablevision decision" which set the legal precedent for the company's service, Barry Diller's investment in the company and much more.
