Re: Interesting....

One of the reasons why the FCC rejected the DirecTV / Echostar merger is because they consider satellite TV to be competition to cable. Such as merger would limit those areas serviced by a single cable provider to two choices (cable or the combined DirecTV-Echostar) versus the current three choice system (cable or DirecTV or Dish Network). The ultimate effect on competition remains to be seen.
