Ads will supplement cableTV income.

Presently, income limitation stopped subscription growth at $99/month. Cable industry did not classify their products to fit income level in towns(cable plant location). So, revenue push goes nowhere.

Apparently feeler of $89 and $79 per month is not very successful. It needs stable cost to bring in new subscribers. 2 year price guarantee is not yet attractive for customers to lock in permanently.

Well, it is a no brainer that monthly fee has to be affordable to get 100% subscribed. How can we be so stupid? Dish penetrates better with $49/month(multiroom free equipment) and DirecTV less successful at $29/month? People are still using dialup modem with Pots at $40-55 per month. But cellphones are $10 per month.
