For consumers, the biggest impact will be what does not happen, said Brett Sappington, a media analyst with Parks Associates.

“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.
