Then you have an inaccurate opinion of Hughes history. The only significant change in pricing in the past 10 years was a $10 reduction when the 7000 was introduced. Other changes brought on by things like the federal subsidy were also decreases, although those didn't apply across the board like the $10 one.
Can you point to an increase? When? How much?
History is fact, not opinion.
