Re: Say No to the Death Star Charlie! I really do like Dish Network.
If AT&T takes over, I know it's the beginning of the end. Not of the company, but of my level of happiness with them.
I could see all kinds of crap bundling penalty pricing and the like going on, where you can't get Dish for a decent price unless you swallow POTS and other crap.
Our competitive situation in the USA is poor. We have, for most people, basically BigCableCo vs BigTelco. Further consolidation in TV, Wireless, Broadband really just makes it worse. As such, both already act like 200 pound gorillas and pound caps, restrictions, crappy TOS provisions down your throat.
You don't like them, but have to take them anyway because your choices are so few you really can't decline.
