Re: Content drives the cost structure Yeah, but they added a lot of channels to those over the years. Even given that, it's now $12 more expensive then it was 10 years ago. That averages out at around $1.25 a year increase.
AT&T has raised prices at least 3 times in the last year.

| AT200, the package I used as an example, has seen very little channel additions over the past decade, the bulk of those channels added are shopping channels which pay to be carried, or public interest channels, which are non profit and are required by the FCC. I hate AT&T, well all telcos in general, but satellite is now just as bad as ever when it comes to pricing. Those 4 channels I mentioned are just about the only channels that have been added, I may be missing another channel or two, but there haven't been 'a lot channels added over the years'. America's Everything Pak has seen the most channel additions and has gone up $30 since 2000 or 2001. Looking everything over channels added to AEP since it was started in 2000 or 2001 are as follows: Actionmax, 5Starzmax, Starz Comedy, Big Ten Network, CNBC World, Chiller, Current, ESPN U, NFL Network, NHL Network, Ovation, SITV and Tennis Channel. Oh yeah and the west coast feed of Cartoon Network and Fox Reality Channel replaced Reality TV a few years ago. Are those channels worth a $30 price increase?

Well, I don't know if they are worth the $30 increase, but they are sports and movie channels mostly, so I'm sure they cost every bit of that extra expense to Dish.
