Re: Dish/Directv?
said by LouiseBowes  :There are plenty of areas that are not served by cable where satellite is the ONLY choice and if the DISH/DTV merger were allowed to go through, it would create a monopoly for those customers There are plenty of areas where good Terrestrial radio is not available and Satellite Radio is the ONLY choice and if the Merger of XM/Sirius were allowed to go through, it would create a monopoly for those customers.
As for using the Ipod, well, that's like saying if you don't have good TV U can just watch tapes or DVD's. 
I'm not against this merger, but I think that it shows that the denial of Dish's bid to buy DTV was based on politics not actual market conditions.
