I wonder if the announcement will provide some impetus for Dish to enhance its satellite programming to attract the many DTV subscribers that will be disenfranchised due to a lack of adequate high speed Internet. The little community near our former mountain top home in upstate NY was one such place when we lived there at least. No cell service, no cable service, no DSL service, just slow dial-up or limited satellite Internet. That may have changed since we left, although the coverage maps all still show no cell service there.

Now, I do get cell phone service but, not fast enough to stream much. And, there are places where there is no service at all. Like,,, some of the local parks. lol
How much more is this going to cost anyway??? Sounds like just a way to charge us more money for the same product.
