Meanwhile satellite radio had intense competition from other mobile audio providers whether it was portable music players or OTA radio.
DBS only has cable and each other as competitors in any market and in some rare instances telco and both DBS companies are doing very well. Despite subscriber losses and a sagging economy, Dish Network profits are up 50%. DirecTV's profits are up as well. -- "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." -Hermann Goering 4/18/46 |
