Reducing hunger Luke Francis | THE DAILY BAROMETER

Oregon State University’s Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, beginning Nov. 12, will seek to help the homeless, such as Hezekiah Franklin (above), who has been living in his friend’s truck since this summer. Franklin spends most of his time playing music on homemade instruments to pass the time on long days without shelter.

OSU raises awareness of local hunger and homelessness

By Lauren Sluss News Contributor

Beginning this Thursday, members from six different on-campus organizations are banning together for one common goal — to raise awareness about hunger and homelessness.

Funded by various organizations on campus, the annual Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is a sequence of service events, educational opportunities and fund drives in order to better the community, all of which are free and open to the public.

“Through Hunger and Homelessness Awarenes Week’s series of events and programs, we aim to capture the essence of the issues surrounding hunger and homelessness and bring that awareness to individuals in our community,” said CCE Internal Coordinator Jeremy Chu. Among these events is the Hygiene and Fund Drive, which starts today and runs through Nov. 21. Students and faculty are encouraged to bring toiletries and hygiene products as well as monetary donations. The items and money raised through the fund will be donated to Jackson Street

Youth Center, Community Outreach and the OSU Food Pantry.

“We want to get as many hygiene and toiletry products, because those are items that are difficult for the shelters and pantry to buy with just our money,” said HRSC Graduate Assistant Alexsandra Don Reis. “We also want to inform the campus that these are issues that students deal with as well.”

Along with the Hygiene and Fund Drive, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is hosting two service projects, both held this Saturday morning.

The first project is Produce of the People. According to CCE Internal Coordinator Annie Corkery, Produce of the People is a community based garden that works to teach people about social injustices in food security.

The second project will involve working with Habitat for Humanity Restore. People can donate different supplies that the Habitat for Humanity will use to continue their projects.

Service projects and fund drives are

Tale of two lovers Corvallis honors veterans’ service Production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ premiers today

By Grace Clark News Contributor

“For never was there a tale of more woe, than that of Juliet, and her Romeo,” Shakespeare, “Romeo and Juliet.”

Shakespeare’s classic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet,” brought to the stage by Oregon State University’s theater department, will premier today at 7:30 p.m. at Withycombe Hall.

“Romeo and Juliet” follows the story of two starcrossed lovers in the midst of a feud between two families of Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets.

Casting for the play took

placed last spring, giving the actors a whole summer to rehearse and learn the intricate and poetic lines.

The play is directed by George Cauldwell, who has been working with OSU for 13 years. “Romeo and Juliet” will be the last play he directs here, as Cauldwell is retiring this year.

The fact that the play will takeplace in the Romantic Era is the vision and design of Cauldwell.

“It’s set in the early 19th century, I hope we’ve captured that, and I hope the audience appreciates it,” Cauldwell said.

The director is delighted with how the play has come together, and how the actors have delivered his vision.

Oregon State University observes Veterans Day by canceling classes

Two year old Seth Realeigh, of Albany, watches as members of the Oregon National Guard Wednesday at the 64th annual Albany Veterans Day Parade.

IN THIS ISSUE >>>

Observing Veterans Day as an official holiday, yesterday Oregon State University switched the focus from academics to honoring those in our community who have served under the United States Armed Forces.

Veterans Day is a federal holiday that is devoted to honoring those who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. The 2015 academic year is the first time OSU formally recognized Veterans Day by cancelling classes.

Peter Halajian, a member of the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program, made the decision to pursue a career in the military through the ROTC program because he felt there was an extreme importance to serve his country.

Oregon State University hosts Micheal Beschlos, examines past and present political leaders American historian, author gives“Leadership Under Pressure” lecture

By Jessie Shirley News Contributor

Retelling the stories of our past presidents, renowned American Historian and author Michael Beschloss provided a unique perspective of American history by examining

the important decisions of former presidents through the lense of their personal lives in his lecture, “Leadership Under Pressure: A Historian’s Close-up Look at Presidential Decision-Making.” The lecture focused primarily on how Beschloss uncovers the more personal facts about the Nation’s leaders.

Beschloss focused the lecture on his work and attempts to study what presidents were like out of the spotlight, “A president will look very different in his-

Acclaimed presidential historian Michael Beschloss spoke at the leadership under pressure event on Tuesday at the LaSells Stewart Center.

Continued from page 1 not the only way for people to get involved in Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.

Several educational opportunities will be held throughout the week, including informative panels and a documentary screening.

“The screening of ‘The Homestretch — A Film Addressing Youth Homelessness’ and discussion, as well as our famous Faces of Houselessness panel give first-hand looks into the lives of people who have faced these issues,” Chu said.

According to Chu, the educational portion of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is to dispel misconceptions and stereotypes concerning hunger and homelessness.

“Historically, there has been a lot of stigma surrounding homeless individuals on the street, with people calling them lazy or not trying enough,” Chu said. “But in most cases, you can’t be sure why they ended up in this position, a lot of times it is just a random

event, or they can’t find employment.”

Although hunger and homelessness are issues seen on a global scale, they are also found in the local community.

“A lot of people on this campus and in the community in general face these issues, it might not be to the extreme of homelessness, but maybe they are facing food insecurity or don’t know about places to get inexpensive, sustainable food. It’s something that there needs to be more education about,” Corkery said.

More information about the events throughout Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week can be found on the CCE website.

“It will benefit the community because we will all know more about the struggles people in our community face, and we will be working together to face these issues,” Corkery said. “If everyone has the idea that they, individually, can make a positive impact, that can really go a long way.” baro.news@oregonstate.edu

tory than they will in real time,” Beschloss said.

He said that much of the more personal information does not surface until much later and that being removed from the events that make presidents famous allows for a more informed analysis.

“I’m trying to figure out what they were like in their private life, behind closed doors,” Beschloss said.

He gives the example of the recorded conversations of President Lyndon B. Johnson and people close to him. With this he also stresses the importance of hindsight when attempting to study presidents in particular.

“We know how things turn out, we know how the cold war ended and in the future, historians will know how the war in the Middle East ended,” Beschloss said.

Though historians will know the outcome of large events, according to Beschloss, many decisions presidents make will later be seen as mere blips in history. In order to study such small or personal instances, historians like Beschloss rely on sources like journals and tapes. He said that such accurate and telling sources like these will most likely become harder to find.

“The internal record is disappearing in the future, unless we have a few very open aides and confidants, it will become increasingly difficult to find this kind of information,” Beschloss said.

Though Beschloss focused primarily on presidents of the past he did take a few minutes of the lecture to provide insight and advice on how audience members should examine candidates when casting their votes next year. His advice came as a concise list of four qualities that people should look for in a new leader, exemplified by short stories of

past presidential choices — a president should have guts, an ability to stand by controversial decisions, a knowledge of history and an ability to compromise.

Mina Carson, a history professor at OSU, having enjoyed the lecture added that she appreciates Beschloss’ focus on narrative and historical anecdotes.

“He is incredibly accessible. I love hearing how other historians steer through witness accounts and learning interesting ways of how they received their information.

“Listening to other historians address bias makes me think how I bring my own ideology to the table when I write and when I teach, because I certainly do have an opinion,” Carson said.

Likewise, Andrew Su, a senior history major, was grateful for the chance to listen to a renowned historian address both past and present leaders.

“I really enjoyed how he personalized each president. He told stories to illustrate larger points,” Su said.

Su said that he enjoyed how Beschloss examined what made a president who they were and not letting just their actions define them, but doing so in a way that allowed for humor and relevancy.

Beschloss has written eight books, received an Emmy for both his work in writing and starring in the Discovery Channel’s series “Decisions that Shook the World,” was appointed the first presidential historian by NBC News and appeared on the Daily Show numerous times.

Continued from page 1 “That’s my favorite moment, when they take those extra steps and go beyond what’s in my mind,” Cauldwell said.

A vibrant costume collection, put together by costume designer DeMara Cabrera, adorns the characters.

“The color choices were very deliberate,” Cabrera said. “The Capulets in red, the Montagues in blue, and the prince has purple for royalty.”

The actors are excited to perform for OSU audiences and their hard work about to pay off.

“I love it,” said Brian Greer, a junior in theater and education,who is playng Romeo. “This has been the best show I’ve worked on at OSU. I’ve grown in appreciation for Shakespeare because of this.”

“I worked with George for a few shows last year, doing technical stuff, and he really encouraged me to audition for this show,” Greer said.

Greer has also acted in OSU’s “Street Car named Desire” and “The Diary of Anne Frank”.

Anne Parham, a junior in civil engineering and the actress

playing Juliet, has actually played Juliet before in previous years.

“I did a lot of theater during high school with the Oregon Children’s theater,” Parham said. “I just wanted to continue, so I auditioned for a show freshman year, and just kept going ever since. It’s my creative outlet.”

Parham has also been in productions of shows such as “King Leer” and “Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

“I love Shakespeare.” Parham said.

“I’m really enjoying it. One of my favorite parts of acting is seeing the set go up. The set and the costumes, because they really create the world for me,” Parham said.

Parham and Greer have starred as lead lovers together before here at OSU in “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Parham played Anne Frank while Greer played Peter.

OSU students can go see the production for $5, while general admission is $12. Additional showtimes include Nov. 12 through Nov. 14 and Nov. 19 through Nov. 20 at 7:30, as well as Nov. 22 at 2 p.m.. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

Hiatus approaches end as basketball preps for new season

By Josh Worden Senior Beat Reporter

After an eight-day hiatus, the Oregon State men’s basketball team will take the floor again in Gill Coliseum to take on Northwest Christian on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.

The Beavers took a 76-57 win over Western Oregon in an exhibition game Nov. 5 before an extended break leading up to the official regular season opener.

“It’s horrible. I feel like it’s the football schedule,” said senior guard Langston Morris-Walker said of the break between the exhibition and regular season. “But I understand that it’s what coach wanted to see some film and see where we were.

The coaching staff is doing a great job of making sure we’re going to be ready for the preseason.”

The main aspects that showed up on film, according to head coach Wayne Tinkle, were mostly on the defensive end. Though the Beavers were second in the Pac-12 a year ago at 59.2 points allowed per contest, Tinkle said Wednesday before practice that the defense is brice amarasinghe | THE DAILY BAROMETER still “not where it needs to be.” Getting Head coach Wayne Tinkle dicusses strategies with his team during practice leading up too extended in zone defense was one to their season opener against Northwest Christian. issue that Tinkle mentioned, along with

“We need to do a better job of staying in front of the ball and keeping it out of the middle of the court, and we have to do a better job of communicating on defense,” added freshman guard Stephen Thompson, Jr. The Beavers had solid stretches of defense, particularly in the first 4:53 of the game when Western Oregon didn’t score a point. A barrage of 3-pointers, however, helped WOU come back and take a lead.

“Coach put a lot of emphasis on closing out, and we did really good last year at defending the three,” Morris-Walker said.

“I know coach is a little disappointed with how many 3-pointers they hit.”

OSU led the Pac-12 last year in 3-point defense at 30.2 percent of shots allowed, but WOU made 40 percent (12-for-30) of its long-range shots.

Volleyball leaves the state one last time

Beavers head to California for games against USC, UCLA

By Michael Kiever Sports Contributor

The Oregon State women’s volleyball team hits the road for their last out-ofstate trip this week, traveling to Los Angeles to take on No. 2 USC and No. 10 UCLA. OSU (5-19, 3-11) lost to both USC (251, 13-1) and UCLA (20-4, 11-3) earlier this season in Corvallis, losing in five sets to UCLA and falling in four sets to USC. “My mindset is hopefully transpired to (the players) that we have nothing to lose playing these teams,” said head coach Terry Liskevych. “We’ve got to play them tough.”

The Beavers enter this weekend with a newfound sense of confidence. Liskevych’s newly implemented “6-2” system has given the team reason for optimism.

The system uses substitutions to put the optimal lineup on the court and give the players rest.

“I think what it’s done, it’s spread out our offense very well,” Liskevych said.

“Different people are hitting the ball, and it’s not just Mary-Kate (Marshall) having 60 to 70 sets a match.”

The change to the “6-2” was spurred by the team’s lack of success, and it has been a welcome change so far. In its first game of use, OSU defeated Cal last week in a 3-0 sweep.

“Our setting wasn’t very good, and we just wanted to give something a different look,” Liskevych said. “I think the ‘6-2’ helps us in resting Katelyn Driscoll and Lila Toner in the backcourt, and that’s been helpful.”

Redshirt freshman outside hitter Kory Cheshire, who has been out for several weeks, is nearing a return. Currently recovering from a broken finger, Cheshire is tentatively expected back next week against Washington State.

“We may get Kory back for Washington State and beyond which would be great, but we’ll see,” Liskevych said.

OSU is currently one of four teams tied at 3-11 in the Pac-12 conference, along

with Washington State, Utah and California. Competing against two of the top teams in the nation this week, the Beavers will need to pull an upset if they hope to separate themselves from the pack.

“We’re looking to take the step ahead of everyone and see what we can do,” said senior captain and middle blocker Haley Clarke.

Clarke, who has been with the team since 2011, has mixed feelings going into her final trip with the team.

“It’s bittersweet, it’s that time of season where everyone is tired. but we’re going to make the best of it and we’re going to have a good time,” Clarke said.

For the younger players, the trip represents an opportunity to give the seniors a fitting goodbye.

Stanford, Iowa on the rise

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

Three New Commits OSU picked up official commitments from three studentathletes on Wednesday for the class of 2016 – four-star guard JaQuori McLaughlin from Gig Harbor, Wash., three-star forward Ben Kone from San Jose and junior college transfer Keondre Dew, who currently is a sophomore at City College of San Francisco.

“We bring in an experienced, veteran college player with great maturity,” Tinkle said of Dew, adding that McLaughlin and Kone, “were two priority targets coming out of the summer and we got them both.”

Berkeley Burgers Morris-Walker, a Berkeley, Calif. native, has ties on both sides of Saturday’s football game between OSU and Cal, but said his allegiance to Cal as a kid has been supplanted by the black and orange.

“Through the years, it’s gotten less because I’m such a Beaver now,” Morris-Walker said. “Cal will always be a special place for me, but for the most part it’s all about the Beavers now.”

for the spike against Stanford on Nov. 8.

The big winners in the second College Football Playoff ranking release Tuesday were Stanford and Iowa, which each improved four positions as they angled into four-team playoff contention.

Iowa used a win at Indiana to jump to No. 5, which is knocking on the door of the playoff. Stanford moved to No. 7 with a road win at Colorado.

Colorado and Indiana are improved this season but have generally been considered two of the weakest teams among the power five leagues. The Buffaloes are 6-16 since the start of the 2014 season; the Hoosiers are 8-13.

Committee Chairman Jeff Long praised Iowa’s consistency “on both sides of the ball,” and acknowledged Stanford has not lost since its opening defeat at Northwestern.

“I think it’s worth noting that they played at 9 a.m. Pacific time,” Long said on a post-ranking teleconference.

The top four of Clemson, Alabama,

Ohio State and Notre Dame are solid for now, and the committee sent a clear message to the Big 12 Conference by jumping Iowa to No. 5 ahead of No. 6 Baylor, which did not budge from last week’s spot.

Stanford is No. 7, followed by Oklahoma State, Louisiana State and Utah.

Long said the Big 12’s back-loaded schedule has made it difficult to evaluate the conference.

Baylor has yet to play a team that currently has a winning record. Oklahoma State also played a weak nonconference schedule and scored its first significant win last week against Texas Christian.

Baylor, Oklahoma State and No. 12 Oklahoma will provide the committee with more information when they battle each other this month.

“We understand that our schedule is really back-loaded,” Baylor Coach Art Briles told ESPN on its post-ranking wrap-up show. “So we’re going to have a chance to make some noise, but we’re going to have to work for that noise too.”

UCLA moved up four spots to No. 19, but it’s unlikely the two-loss Bruins can make a playoff charge.

The emergence of Navy at No. 20 raises concern because the Midshipmen play Army on Dec. 12, six days after the final ranking is scheduled for release.

Navy recently moved from being an independent and is now in the American Athletic Conference. That makes the team eligible for a New Year’s Day bowl.

The committee will select the topranked champion from the “Group of 5” leagues to play in a major bowl – the Fiesta or Peach. That team will almost certainly come from the AAC among Navy, Houston or Memphis.

Bill Hancock, the CFP’s executive director, said the complete bowl pairings could be delayed until after Dec. 12.

It is highly unlikely Navy would get into the four-team playoff mix, but how it fares against Army could affect the strength of schedule of candidate Notre Dame, which dealt Navy its only defeat.

“I am proud that the university will begin honoring our veterans with the observance of this national holiday,” Ray said. “This is a meaningful decision. Last year, Oregon State had 1,025 students who received veteran educational benefits — the most of any university in Oregon — and it is important that we recognize and honor the many sacrifices that our nation’s veterans have made.”

Oregon State University has also been formally recognized as a “Military Friendly School” by Victory Media for the both 2015 and 2016. This award comes after OSU was

compared amongst universities, community colleges, and trade schools across the country to see which institution dedicates resources to ensure military students success in the classroom and after graduation.

A large part of this recognition comes from OSU’s well known ROTC rograms for the Air Force, the Army and the Navy.

“ROTC enables young adults to commission as officers in different branches in the armed forces after graduation,” said Paige Westoby, a junior in exercise and sports science and a member of the Naval ROTC program.

According to Westoby, students involved with ROTC undergo a college experience that differs greatly from that of an average person. The hard work is worth the commitment, Westoby says.

“You can’t go anywhere else on campus where you see an organization that every member sees each other not only as family, but relies on one another for support,” Westoby said.

One of the highlights of this year’s Veterans Day celebration was the involvement of

Trees

To begin, the audience was encouraged to take part in a short multiple-choice quiz that focused on key aspects that are given to ecosystems, humans, and animals from dead trees. The two people in the audience who had the most answers correct, received a prize, and several random people were given Oregon State University Beaver stickers.

Harmon emphasized two major aspects — one being the cooperation of art and science, and the great significance of dead trees. Numerous photographs were shown throughout the event of leaves, trees, and various organisms

“The Albany parade is one of the biggest Veterans Day parades west of the Mississippi,” Westboy said.

“The entire way through the parade those watching can see that we are from OSU and are cheering. They can see the future on the face faces of those in ROTC, they can see who will continue fighting for freedom.”

They also attract moss, lichen, insects and fungi that not only serve as nutrients for numerous organisms, but that return nutrients to the soil and decompose of dead wood that creates new life.

“Art and science have been separated, and we need to break down that barrier and work together. There will be more dead trees in the future and it is important to understand what they do and what they don’t do,” Harmon said.

Andrew Neskahi, a zoology major from Chemeketa Community College was advised to attend the event from one of his professors at Chemeketa.

“I am hoping to learn more about log decomposition, and more clarification as far as dead trees and how ecosystems are thriving off of those. It’s a very overlooked part of forest ecosystems,” Neskahi said.

According to Ellen Vanice, a 72-year-old Corvallis community member, you never stop learning.

“I have lived in Corvallis for 23 years, and my husband and I usually come to the science pub because we always learn something that we didn’t know before,” Vanice said. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

The Tile is a tiny Bluetooth locator you can attach to almost any item you’re likely to lose. locate your Tile.

If any other Tile user walks within range of a lost Tile, that user’s Tile app will send a signal back to the Tile server about the location of the lost Tile.

You’ll then get a notification showing the location of your lost Tile.

The lost Tile locator feature works without any interaction from the other Tile users – it’s all done by Tile behind the scenes.

Whenver a user has the Tile app open, any lost Tiles within range will be noticed and reported.

That user doesn’t know about your lost device or about having located it.

It’s up to you to use the location information to find your lost Tile. Users don’t even need to be a Tile owner to download the app and help find lost Tiles.

What does it cost?

Tiles are pretty cheap. To buy one will set you back $25, but they get cheaper in bulk.

You can buy a four-pack for $70, eight for $130 and a 12-pack for $180.

There is no monthly fee for using the Tile or its locator service, but the Tiles are

sealed devices, meaning once the battery dies, you have to replace the entire Tile.

I’ve used other Bluetooth locators with removable batteries, and they’re bigger than the Tile, which makes them harder to pocket.

The Tile’s battery will last more than a year, and after 11 months of your Tile being active, you’ll get an email offering to recycle your old Tile and sell you a new Tile for $12 (half price).

So there is no subscription, but there is an ongoing cost of owning a Tile. I think the price is right for not having

to deal with batteries.

Conclusion Overall I really like the Tile.

The times I’ve needed to use it, it’s worked flawlessly.

Tiles are cheap enough that you could use them for keeping track of all kinds of things, or you could buy a four-pack and hand them out at Christmas.

Pros: Small enough, light, good range, no subscription.

Cons: Disposable. Can’t change battery.

Bottom line: Does its job well. www.thetileapp.com The Dallas Morning News

Netflix for live, local TV? It could happen

By Jennifer Van Grove The San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN DIEGO – A couple of San Diego entrepreneurs, former executives from the wireless and cable TV industries, believe they can accomplish what might seem impossible: deliver live, local broadcast television – not bundled in a cable package – to any device with a web browser at an affordable price.

Call it hubris or intrepidity, but you can’t call it greed.

That’s because the company, Telletopia, is tackling local subscription video on demand as a nonprofit. Telletopia is using its status as a 501(c)(4) entity to legally retransmit live broadcast feeds over the Internet without a license under an exemption expressly provided to nonprofits under copyright law.

The distinction means Telletopia has found its way around a legal quagmire of regulatory obstacles sinking anyone other than the cable and satellite providers who try and transmit local broadcast channels to consumers over the Internet.

“We believe consumers want competition for pay TV,” said Gary Koerper, co-founder and CEO of Telletopia. “We know there’s no Facebook IPO here. But we think we can change an industry, and we’re crazy enough to do that.”

There is, however, at least one major barrier to get past.

Founded in 2013 and self-funded by Koerper, a Comcast and Qualcomm alum, along with ecoATM co-founder Michael Librizzi, Telletopia is just now taking the wraps off its master plan to change the face of local television. The

We believe consumers want competition for pay TV. Gary Koerper Co-founder of Telletopia San Diego firm hopes to sell its subscription service, which streams local channels such as ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, PBS and Univision, to customers in 14 California markets, starting with San Diego, for less than $20 a month in six months time.

Telletopia is already running a private test of its service locally. It could legally roll out the Internet-based service more broadly, but the company doesn’t want to make enemies out of a broadcaster bunch famous for its litigiousness in matters of content copyright.

Instead, the nonprofit wants to become a modern-day multichannel video programming distributor, or MVPD, a fancy term for a cable and satellite company. The status would mean Telletopia could act like a cable company and negotiate rates with broadcasters to retransmit their signals. The label, however, hinges on a ruling by the Federal Communications

Commission, slated for a vote later this year. If passed, the FCC would reclassify online video distributors such as Telletopia as MVPDs. “We’re ready to launch,” said Koerper, “but we need this FCC vote (to pass).”

Otherwise Telletopia could be dead on arrival.

“We have exemption from needing a license, and we don’t need consent, but for us this isn’t about disrupting broadcasters,” Koerper said. “We’re willing to pay for their content. That’s not the fight we want to fight.”

Rather, Telletopia hopes to rally consumers to act on its behalf and force the five FCC commissioners to vote in favor of reclassification.

“When we went to FCC, they said the same thing, ‘we support it, we like the idea, but there’s strength in numbers.’”

Telletopia hopes to appeal to adults who have cut ties with their cable companies and young millennials who’ve never had ties to them. It may even nudge a would-be cord-cutter over the edge by satisfying a latent demand for easy access to local content.

“I see them addressing a broad need in the market,” said Greg Ireland, research director of the multiscreen video program at market research firm IDC. “Clearly consumers are moving their entertainment consumption online, causing activities we know as cord-cutting and cord-shaving. Solutions are needed to get access to content (people) love through alternate means.”

TV

Continued from page 8 As it stands, there are roughly 8.6 million households in the U.S. classified as “cord-cutters,” meaning they have high-speed Internet access but no cable or satellite television subscription, says a study published earlier this year by Experian Marketing Services. But, according to Nielsen, U.S. adults ages 18 to 24 watch more than 18.5 hours of traditional TV per week, and those in the 25-to-34 age group watch close to 25 hours per week, meaning even younger generations still enjoy consuming a lot of good, old-fashioned network TV. When it comes to local channels, cordcutters can, of course, use digital antennas to access the over-the-air broadcasts free of charge. But signals are hit or miss, and the tied-to-the-TV aspect doesn’t align with consumers’ changing cordless behaviors, Telletopia reasons.

“The world has progressed to the point where ... it expects a video experience like Netflix,” Koerper said.

To stream local stations, Telletopia puts an antenna on top of a building to ingest overthe-air signals transmitted by local broadcasters. The company takes the broadcast signals and converts them to an Internet signal. A subscriber merely needs to open a web or mobile browser to begin watching the big-four networks, as well as public access content, in a matter of seconds, with programming localized to the person’s whereabouts. Telletopia also plans to develop applications so that consumers can stream local channels through their Internet-based set-top boxes.

Compared to the now defunct Aereo, the approach is relatively straightforward.

“Our predecessors built funky tech because they tried to find a loophole,” Koerper said.

“Solving the copyright law allows you to retransmit the full signal. Since it’s such a simple, elegant solution to a complex prob-

lem, the technology gets really simple as well.”

Founded in 2012, Aereo tried and failed to deliver a similar over-the-top, or Internetbased, broadcast service for consumers. The company offered a subscription cloud DVR for local network content, but it was operating without a license to transmit the copyrighted material. Aereo tuned a distinct antenna for each one of its subscribers to over-theair broadcasts in an attempt to assert that it only created private, personal copies of programming.

In effect, Aereo sought exemption from copyright laws by claiming to act like a personal antenna, and not a public broadcast company. The company, however, was ultimately shuttered after a June 2014 Supreme Court ruling determined Aereo was behaving like a cable company and thus required to pay fees to broadcasters.

“Clearly the programmers where hostile to Aereo. There wasn’t a licensing of the technology there,” said IDC’s Ireland. “How the regulatory environment unfolds, remains unseen.

But what I’m encouraged by, is (Telletopia’s) desire to work with programmers.”

Koerper swears that Telletopia’s formula is rewarding for everyone – even broadcasters.

The company, he said, has spoken with most of the local broadcasters, networks and station owners, who are amenable to the idea. Though rates that would allow for a sub-$20 plan would certainly have to be negotiated.

“Wanting to pay takes most of the resistance away,” he said.

Telletopia may want to pay, but it technically can’t yet. That won’t legally be allowed until the FCC reclassifies online services as MVPDs. “We feel like this is just the next step to move the industry forward,” Koerper said. “We see the light at the end of the tunnel ... but we need (the help of) consumers to make this happen.”

When it launches, Telletopia will let subscribers stream local channels from any web or mobile browser.
