Dish Discussing Merger With DirecTV > What new Competition and when?

Re: What new Competition and when?

MediaCom is in Wyzata, is that not Twin Cities enough for you? Charter is in the south metro area.. do you know know where you live?

You're in Osseo talking about a South West Metro cable company, Time Waner, which was FORMERLY Paragon.. further, Jones, and king were merged into MediaOne. It's not my fault you can't read.

You want to compare a company that's doesn't even cover your service area as a loss of a provider leaving you with NO competition or ONE PROVIDER, when in fact there are still two others, besides Comcast, that cover the twin cities.

And, doesn't matter if Qwest resells the service or not.. at least you can purchase direct from DirecTV OR from Qwest and deal with two different providers. Further, YOU may see it that way, but some see Sprint as Sprint, and Virgin Mobile as Virgin Mobile when they are two companies using the same towers. In fact, DirecTV isn't even really operated by DirecTV.. their entire customer service department is farmed out.. all you are left with is just who you talk to on the phone.
