I don't see it that way. The significantly viewed rules were meant to put DBS on par with cable. Local broadcasters apparantly have asked E* to ignore the new rules. There's nothing stopping a station from asking a cable system for the same consideration. That may even have occurred somewhere, but the CATV guys haven't asked for a regulation to prevent it.
