So broadcasters do not have the right to send content to TV
receivers that use antennas and run off of a battery?
If broadcasters charge a subscription fee for the content, then
Hollywood will want a cut. If broadcasters do it a no charge, then
Hollywood will get a cut of nothing.
Frankly it doesn't sound too unfair to me. Even the FCC wants a cut
if a broadcaster charges for content.

I agree with this John. In fact I sent a message a few days ago that
said the same thing.
So I guess that we need to read between the lines of the story and
say that it looks like broadcasters want to offer a fee based mobile
service. If that is the case they will fail miserably.
