John, If it's all sooooo bad, it makes you wonder why Lehman Brothers would have posted a "Buy" in the last two weeks...... (After all it's not like you'd expect an analyst to look closely at all the numbers, or anything :-) And yes, I'll bet the cable lobby is strong...... can't see that influencing the WSJ any...... :-) And it's not like the government is currently angry at the cables having too much control....... And it's not like DISH (and the other DBS companies) would be a good way to break that monopoly........ (I'd love to be able to read the full article, but copies of the WSJ aren't too common in the UK ! It sounds to me that this article has a slightly vested interest ! Yup, DISH has lots of debt, but that's normal for a high cap venture like this. The roll-out is going very well, and it's amazing how quickly that debt will fall once DISH hit the subscriber levels. As someone who has seen the successes (and failures) of DBS in Europe, I think DISH has got it right). Me sell ? No, I think not........ Mark p.s. Thanks for writing up the key points.
