Aereo Decision Could Come Within Two Weeks

The Supreme Court of the United States has certainly had some time to review their notes and deliver a decision. Can Aereo continue its business model or do the broadcasters have the right to yank away free over the air signals from a company that leases antennas? " There are still two more Mondays in the session, and the court could add a Thursday session next week as it has done the previous two."  Or they could continue to wait till the next session this Fall although the expectation is that a decision will come shortly.

I have no inside track nor have I heard any of the testimony.  In fact, I am not even a customer of Aereo; rather, I still get triple play service from our cable provider.  Simply looking at the information that has played across the media, I am firmly of the belief that Aereo will be victorious and broadcasters will still be able to get license fees from cable operators.  Until a decision is rendered, we can only wait and watch.
