You heard it!! Yeah, and the great part (for us, not the telco's) is that their xdsl doesn't work for shi@ over 80% of their lines, but it will work good enough to do what you suggested, ie use it for a "high speed" return path to the central office router. Use DISH broadcast data feed for the high speed downlink to the 80% of the population (or whatever it is) that they can't serve properly with xdsl. This is sounding better all the time... Now all we have to worry about is Primestar, since they are going to be sold by the cable guys, I suspect Sprint is cyphering right now on that one. But, if someone like Sprint buys Primestar, it just validates the whole scenario and DISH will go up anyway. At the least, this possibility should put a floor on DISH share price while they build up the subscriber base and get closer to breakeven. Happy days.... FB
