| Aereo plans to begin offering service in San Antonio, Texas, while | the legal theory underpinning the company's operations awaits | review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Aereo will begin taking new | subscribers in and around San Antonio on Feb. 19. | | The move comes as Aereo's New York City-area service is reportedly | oversubscribed. According to DSLReports, Aereo reached its capacity | in that market some time before the Super Bowl. A spokesperson for | the company told DSLReports that it is working to add more capacity | in the markets where it already offers service. | | While the high court's decision to hear the case didn't stall | Aereo's expansion plans, it has put some related litigation on | pause around the country. Two appeals involving Aereo copycat | FilmOn X were held in abeyance last week, court filings show. | | Now, FilmOn plans to ask the Supreme Court to let it intervene in | the Aereo case, according to Reuters. If its request is granted, it | would entitle FilmOn to file a brief in the case and answer | questions from the judges during oral argument. A lawyer for Aereo | told Reuters that it would oppose such a request.
