Commercials on IPTV? Ah, no

Peter Morrill, g.m. of IdahoPTV, appeared before the joint state finance-appropriation committee today in an attempt to persuade members against phasing out all funding over the next four years. One question, from Sen. Jeff Siddoway, a Republican from Terreton: Why doesn’t IPTV just sell commercials instead of taking state money? Because federal law prohibits that, Morrill explained.
