JDCFA: It would seem like people were less than forthcoming with you during your recent visit to Englewood. Their "double digit increase in phone calls" that they told you about didn't translate to September sales: ****************************************** DISH And DirecTV Report Solid September, PrimeStar Has Disappointing Month EchoStar's DISH Network and DirecTV reported that September was another solid month for subscriber additions. PrimeStar, however reported another disappointing month. DirecTV added 121,000 new subscribers in September. That takes the DSS provider 4.058 million. DISH added 81,000, taking its total to 1.609 million. PrimeStar reported a gain of 10,002 subscribers for the month. That takes its total to 2.166 million. ****************************************** Lets see: Stock values are depressed, investors expecting a merger are fleeing on no news, sub acquisition is behind target levels, management has lost focus, the product lacks a good offer in the marketplace and a deal with Murdoch just doesn't come together... sounds like DISH in the first half of '97... You've just been RUPERTed! NOEL
