Question about satellite broadband parameters.

-represents a narrow niche
-cable and dsl will always be better
-a model with 2 or 3 satellite broadband competitors wouldn't work
The 2 or 3 currently out there are: DirecWay, Starband, & WildBlue, so I guess that says that all the talk about E* re-entering the satellite internet market was just hype, misdirection, or some other stupidity.

At least they got smart - if they actually follow their own statement.
 
What about April 1, 2005?

They've jumped over at least 2 cutoff points already, what's 1 more...

Nothing would surprise me in this overwrought soap opera.

IMHO 3/31 is Dolans put up or shut up date. Either he found outside financing and V* lives or he didn't and V* dies. Anything beyond 3/31 risks serious FTC involvement.

There are other players as well, just not in the consumer level accounts that Dish likey would target.
Quite right. I'm also even finding out about one more consumer one. A one-way, dial-return service. Sorry, I forgot the name already - it's been almost an hour. :rolleyes:
 

Question about adding another Dish !
