Sorry to pop your bubble, but this is bad news for DISH. TCI has been slow to upgrade because of their mountain of debt. AT&T has plenty of capital to do the job and the payoff is much higher than in buying local players or layiing new fiber lines to expand capacity. TCI had 5 year plan to upgrade, they moved to three. Now AT&T is talking about two and the cross marketing of video, internet access and phone service is compelling (one bill). Check out RCN, they are making penetration in DC, Boston and New York and most people don't know who they are! If I am a TCI sub, I might second guess wether to switch to a dish company when my cable company will offer high speed internet access, phone service and IVOD in many markets next year. This may not be bad, but it is not something to cheer about if you are investing in DBS.
