I've seen the progression here from Illinois Bell to GTE to Verizon to Frontier. I remember thinking "what's a Verizon," but I digress. I had Frontier DSL until a local-regional (Mid Century) put fiber into the town, and have now been on that for a half-dozen years. Currently I have broadband...

That's my point- there shouldn't be any price point for ESPN that gets foisted onto every cable/sat subscriber regardless of whether they want it. They had a good game going back in the day in colluding with all the other programmers to only allow providers to sell them all bundled together, or...

So sorta like these guys then.

Who is Dish DBS?

But if ESPN goes alacarte and drops off of millions of cable/sat packages it was mandated into, it'll never be able to charge enough to make up the revenue loss. A majority of those losing it from their packages won't care, especially if they're given a significant rate cut or other goody to go...

What exactly is the credit for?

Televised sport is a disease of addiction. The chance to get away from some of it and stop paying the purveyor could be a good thing. It's my understanding that ESPN alone (and/or combined with Disney et al.) costs service providers an enormous per-sub amount which must be paid through for...

I meant would you miss it.

what about fox news

That's what I'm saying. So that would already be covered under "wireless," as would be a WISP?

After reading through, I'm curious- are there people watching TV from their mobile devices, if so how many, and does it work for them? Also, the cell co's offer "fixed" broadband, either standalone or combined with mobile. Shouldn't that count as a broadband household?

That might be it, made some settings changes after getting an adware trojan. Don't mind us, like, blocking ads on here do you?

OK, looks good. Noticed I had to log back in.

Mid-90s. By late 90s they were starting with free "leased" equipment. But in the 80s folks paid significant 4-figures for C-band. In early 80s it ran around 10k, using commercial-grade gear.

Verboten!

Perhaps they're afraid of losing too many sat subs to streaming by making it that attractive, leaving DiSH with even fewer of mainly just broadband-desert subs.

Gov't is currently funding broadband build-out in more rural areas, but really people themselves are driving rural inclusion- they expect broadband connectivity and that expectation is driving build-out as well. If they can work from home, they're choosing the hinterlands to work from, and they...

How much $$$ does charlie have that he sucked out of the business over the years

Trade tech secrets to china.

Charlie came into mobile with it already a well-mature industry. There's fierce competition in rates. The situation is completely unlike when he got into satellite- C-band and then DBS

Looks like it's leveling off at ~5,000,000

When you have to deal with a service like a vacuum salesman in the first place, dumping dirt & add-on costs all over you until you boot him out the door, cutting the cord becomes deliciously inviting. Just make sure it's unplugged first.

Never heard of getting a 722 at Goodwill...Don't know why you'd want one if not to use its DVR...Subscribing to some minimal service should allow the DVR to work normally including on offair source.

It's smaller. Those large 211s have to be getting long in the tooth.

Question, what's on cable systems near you? Historically they've not been limited to a single market, especially when they're in-between markets- they would simply carry both. It was called "significantly viewed"- if offair viewers in given area were able to receive more than one affil for a...
