		As of the fall of 1999, more than ten million households subscribed to satellite carriers, and many people were paying an additional subscription fee to receive broadcast TV network programming through their satellite dish.

		In addition, subscribers who were receiving distant signals as of October 31, 1999, or had distant signals terminated after July 11, 1998, may still be eligible to receive distant signals provided they cannot receive over-the-air signals of Grade A intensity.

	Sports Pork: The Costly Relationship between Major League Sports and Government
		Looking to the rest of 1999 and the next several years, considering what is already agreed to and what various teams and cities are seeking or proposing, another conservative estimate indicates that at least $13.5 billion more will be spent on new ballparks, stadiums, and arenas for major league teams.
		Indeed, the results of studies on changes in the economy resulting from the presence of stadiums, arenas, and sports teams show no positive economic impact from professional sports —or a possible negative effect.
		A step in the right direction would be a measure requiring voters to approve any government subsidy for professional sports.
