Cable sports loophole
In simple terms, cable sports loophole is a type of a technological flaw through which some cable operators used to withhold some sports channels from other video providers. This created wide spread discontent among the customers and some of these cable operators started enjoying more popularity through such unfair means.
This was possible through the terrestrial loophole which allowed the operators to prevent some important sports event from being beamed to all the satellite systems. However, this was possible only if the signal was being transmitted by the wired network of the operator.
Due to the problem, major satellite operators like Dish Network and DirecTV filed complaints. After major discussions between the government and the Federal Communications Commission, cable sports loophole was closed by a 4-1 vote.
After the loophole was closed, any video provider was able to get access to all the sports channels according to the package of programs and payment.
