Re: So let me get this straight...
Yea, "analysts" are mostly clueless; paid to say something about some company every once in awhile in order to churn the companies' stock, and generate commissions ofr their employers/clients.
Maybe Dish wants it for a return channel. They have plenty of downstream bandwidth. They could do one-way satellite broadband. Latency would be much improved compared with Wildblue and Direcway. |

Hm, I don't know much about wireless broadcasting, I just made the assumption based on the fact that block E only held one block of spectrum, while all others included two... though I suppose Video on Demand would require at least some of that to be set aside for upstream, so they can tell what video it is you are demanding... |

They are useful for more than just one-way depending on what you want to do. Don't blindly believe what pundits pund. I would imagine that someone could figure out something more useful to do with 6 MHz at 722 MHz than making it back into TV channel 56.
