Consumer Groups Urge Congress to Reauthorize the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act
Consumer groups urge congress to protect more than 870,000 satellite television subscribers who risk losing their ability to access news, sports and programming at a fair and competitive price. Many of the residents most likely to be impacted by a failure to renew STELAR (Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act Reauthorization) are disproportionately rural or otherwise live in areas that put them at a considerable disadvantage for access to information compared to urban and suburban communities.
