I think you guys are forgetting a lot her.
Satellites main competitor is CABLE. You guy keep thinking Satellites main competitor is other satellite companies.
HD will prevail with or without VOOM. The simple reason is that Satellite will have to keep up a competitive advantage with cable. And vice versa.
During the next few years cable will be adding HD networks and D* and E* will have to keep up. VOOM really does not fit into the scheme of things unless to say in marketing that a company offers the most HD channels.
Simply put market pressures will force the satellite providers to increase their HD offerings.
I know different cable systems offer smaller offerings but there are many cable systems with large HD offerings. Satellite providers are nationwide providers so they must be competitive in the best markets and will have to have a wide selection of HD channels to retain and attract subscribers.
If VOOM fails not much will happen. The HD competition will still be there between cable providers and operators. In addition and entire industry has slowly developed in the past few years. People are not going to throw out HD cameras, HD production facilities, HD studios, HD trucks and the various other things I have little knowledge of. My point is that this entire industry that was built will not disappear because a satellite provider of 35,000 subscribers failed.
