Dale, you could very well be right about DISH. After all, you know the business, and I do not. But I am still troubled by the debt load. You say: DISH spends $273 million on marketing and loses $87 million in cash flow. So if they cut marketing in the future and get more revenue from existing customers thanks to Internet services (see their plans with GILTF) then positive cash flow is easy. Those numbers are piddling compared to the more than three BILLION dollars of debt the company is carrying. How does DISH propose to pay that off? Or even the interest on it, given that DISH has negative interest coverage as well? By going still deeper into debt (raising cash through bonds)? jbe
