White House opposes Aereo streaming TV service in Supreme Court battle

Now the White House too says that Aereo ought to be paying these retransmission fees. For one, it argues that Aereo's service cannot be considered to truly handle each stream individually for several reasons. It points to Aereo's use of a centralized server to actually transmit those streams back to viewers, and to Aereo's reuse of antennas between customers. Rather than permanently assigning each customer an antenna, Aereo offers access to a pool of antennas that are reassigned to each customer as they sign on and off of the service. - Jacob Kastrenakes, The Verge
