And I'm sure it will remain there too... it really doesn't matter. This is a competitor calling out another.. in the end, who wins? Dish.. as their name will be in the headlines for a while, and I'm sure DirecTv will be more than HAPPY to spend millions, like verizon and comcast do on each other, by airing a lot of commercials that just brings Dish to the lime light. Nothing wrong with free advertising, right?
Here are some examples of providers pulling "gotchyas"
Cellular: "We have the fastest 3G network" - they all can't have it but they all say it.
Cable: More HD choices
Satellite: More HD channels
All HSI: 5 Gazillion times faster than dial up (cometary added: WHO CARES? Why are they comparing 10 year old technology to the latest thing? Fios! Comcast DS3! et all)
Car Companies: "The HIGHEST rated customer satisfaction".. while they cite their sources, that's all they verbally say.
They all do it... there is a user here who is an attorney and explained it well.. there's nothing illegal about it!
VZ wireless has the fastest 3g network here is littlerock
