Ruling may signal end of Aereo

June 25, 2014

It’s unclear what the future holds for Aereo’s 80 Boston employees. Carrier said broadcasters will now have to ask a lower court for an injunction to stop Aereo from operating, which could take months.

“We were on the cusp of what could have been a very stark change in broadcast TV,” Sappington said. “Had Aereo won, there might have been a very significant impact. This maintains the status quo.
