I agree, getting subs is the name of the game right now, just like cellular has been for it's whole existance. You hope you get a big enough scale that at some point, when your infrastructure is built out, you will go cash flow positive. With the subs you have something to bring to a deal, other than just your infrastructure, which by the way is worth quite a bit once it's up and operating. Nice move today, wonder why? Someone was asking last week about the orbital position of DISH satellites. Here is a good link for that: dbsdish.com Cheers and good viewing and good investing in '98! FB By the way a cousin of mine just bought a Direct TV and I about smacked him for it, but the dealer threw in enough incentives that he got it for basically only $50. And it would have been free but he wanted the dual LNB and that cost the $50. DirectTV definately understands market share!
