Preemption of Local Zoning Regulation of Satellite Earth Stations and Restrictions on Over-the-Air Reception Devices: Television Broadcast, Direct Broadcast Satellite and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services

Краткое содержание

This Second Report and Order amends the Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule, which prohibits governmental and non-governmental restrictions that impair a viewer's ability to receive video programming through devices designed for over-the-air reception of DBS, MDS, or television broadcast signals. This Order concludes that the rule will be expanded to apply to antenna restrictions on rental property where the viewer has exclusive use or control. This Order also concludes that antenna restrictions that apply to common or restricted access areas are beyond the scope of the statutory authority for this rule, and that the rule, therefore, cannot apply to antenna restrictions on common or restricted access.
