Advocacy

Your partner in the Satellite Industry

After five decades of growth and innovation, the satellite industry has become a major presence in the pay television and broadband markets. But this success has not gone unnoticed and we can no longer operate under the radar. We are being targeted by our competitors and being viewed as a source of tax revenue by state governments. The SBCA is here to take the offensive to advocate our position, protect the jobs and businesses that satellite technology has created and sustain the growth of the industry.

Education is our main objective

The public and lawmakers alike have a limited understanding of consumers' right to home satellite services. By strengthening our education efforts with legislators, regulators and local governments, the SBCA is acting to protect and grow the satellite industry here in the United States.

The SBCA provides a strong voice to support member businesses in dealing with local zoning and ordinances, homeowner's associations, and landlords that discriminate against the lawful installation of home satellite antennas.

Public policy and outreach

With our united industry voice, the SBCA is an effective tool for educating state and local policy makers, governmental agencies and homeowners associations.

  • We fight unfair satellite taxes
  • We promote fair licensing legislation
  • We provide OTARD education and awareness
  • We help fight unlawful satellite access restrictions
