| his options may be to sell to AT&T? How would that make things better? A huge land based monopoly controlling a satellite company is too much, it could remove the last thread of outside competition from our current cable/phone duopoly. Not to mention, AT&T would just want to get into the business to drop the prices to nothing, just to prevent the satellite industry from expanding and others from getting into the business. Then after they kill satellite competition, they will jack the prices sky high for all but new customers who are the only ones who can still get the original cheap deal(just so they can advertise the lower price) then send everyone with satellite a flier advertising SBC 3mbit DSL w/ IPTV that only works on up to one tv per house because of the bandwidth limitations of dsl. Most those people of course will live where dsl isn't even available. |
