"The average consumer doesn't differentiate whether they're getting (programming) over the air or through cable or satellite," reasoned Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, at the NAB's annual congressional breakfast. "Over time, I think there is going to be a convergence of the legislative process setting the standards for what is allowed. ... If I can see it on my TV and my grandson can click and watch the channel, whether it's satellite, over-the-air or cable, the same rules in terms of decency should apply."

I think this Congressman is blowing smoke and pandering to someone. If not he's totally ignorant regarding the history of court rulings regarding satellite and cable tv.
