I agree, he can't seem to keep track.... The story in question suggests they plan to fine the residents. That same story mentions a similar rule from Boston that does target the satellite companies. Again, in either case, the only "BS" is the stupidity of this town, Boston, and so on who didn't do research. Or, like someone said (Juan?), they just hope that they can get some fines, dishes removed, etc before someone catches on.
It's like the signs dump-truck operators put on the backs of their trucks - "Stay back 500'. Not responsible for objects thrown from truck." Uhhhh, yeah, you are and a silly sign doesn't absolve you of that. But, many will see it through their broken windshield, caused by a rock that flew out of that dump truck, and think, "damn, they're not responsible".
