This isn't really a debate of one company vs. another. It's how Apple has decided to manage the situation given their accounting policies. Maybe DTV has different policies. SOX does leave a lot up to interpretation by a given entity.
Also, DTV could also maintain that the monthly fee you pay for services is a subscription type service and hence entitles you to maintaining current product sets relative to hardware. |
