For the past 20 years, Dish has definitely provided the best TV experience available, but during that same 20 year period has neglected and continues to neglect a major aspect of it's business model it needs to survive.
Rather than doing whatever it can to fix this problem, Dish instead creates new products and services that require more of what it does not have.
What I am referring to here in case you have not figured it out is Broadband!! If dish was planning on relying on a dish to provide all of it's services, then they should have spent the last 20 years figuring out a way to provide a viable Broadband service through that Dish, but they didn't.
How long do they think they can continue to stream video without contributing to the cost to upgrade the Broadband network they rely on? I think there are already signs that this business model will be tolerated much longer.
I may be wrong, but I don't think it is a coincidence that the 4k Joey can't seem to get Certified from Netflix at around the same time Netflix entered into agreements with the Broadband providers to start paying for their excessive use and help pay for the required upgrades to the Network.
The 4k Joey now costs Netflix money that I am sure Dish is unwilling to pay for. As 4k content becomes more and more available and demand continues to increase Dish will make all Joey's capable of 4k and if Netflix was on all of them it would increase expenses for both Netflix and the Broadband companies and cost Dish essentially nothing!!
Dish without Broadband equals failure. The way I see it, Charlie can continue to hold on to the company and watch it's slow and painful death, which is what he is doing now, or sell and quickly because it's value decreases as the days go by!!
Anyways, that's the way I see it. Would like to hear your thoughts on this matter!!
