What don't people get? They jacked up the price of the auction - now what? Who ever owns it will have to work hard to sell a profitable product on such an expensive venture. (Remember, this is JUST the spectrum - doesn't include the research and other investment)
So, how profitable will this service be for who ever winds up with it? How do we know that DirecTV doesn't have other plans in store as well?
Maybe there is something to be said of "if I can't have it, no one will".. meaning that they will help push the price so high that the venture will fail for others.
NFL Sunday ticket anyone?
This will definetly put a dent in the checking account of the new owners.. put a drain on their finances. It CAN make it easier for DTV to have a leg up in other areas and do a run around to bolster other products while the new owners are bogged down in a high debt situation slowing their overall growth.
Not to mention, it's a MAJOR expense... will this be the next throw away technology? Could sure be an expensive lesson to learn. |
