Boston Bans Satellite dishes

Boston wants to ban satellite dishes. Saying they are ugly.

The Boston City Council, citing a proliferation of satellite television dishes across the city, is considering banning the devices from the front of buildings.

Saying that the dishes are potentially dangerous and increasingly hard to overlook in parts of the city where some buildings are festooned with them, councilors plan to consider a measure to confine the satellite television receivers to the back of buildings, out of public view.

``For some, it's an eyesore," said Council President Michael Flaherty, who sponsored the measure. A public hearing before the council's Public Utilities and Cable Communications Committee is scheduled for Friday.

I wonder if they have any connections to local cable outlets?
