Aereo Stops Operations, Sends Refunds, But Says It's Just a Pause
This article is for subscribers only.
Aereo is shutting down its operations days after the Supreme Court said its streaming television business was illegal, but the company insisted that this was not the end of the line.
“We have decided to pause our operations temporarily as we consult with the court and map out our next steps,” said Aereo chief executive Chet Kanojia in a statement. The company’s service was taken down at 11:30 Saturday morning, and Aereo is sending refunds to subscribers for the last month.
