What your thoughts on the new information behind their ESS link ... go to dishnetwork.com and click on the big ESS logo. Then follow the "data services" links until you get to their "Best of the Web" information. I think this coming DBS push internet service could become a barn burner for Christmas as the details unfold. Looks like DBC's <NASDAQ...DBCC> "Signal" and "Agcast" are the first tenants to this. jp

WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS PERSON WOULD PAY RETAIL FOR A PRODUCT? ABSORB THE SHIPPING COSTS (THAT ARE AT 25 POINTS BY THE WAY). DELIVER, INSTALL AND PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE CUSTOMER. (THE MOST DIFFICULT PORTION OF THIS EQUATION) AND ON TOP OF THIS BE EXPECTED TO USE THEIR INVENTORY, PAY FOR SHIPPING BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER AND ABSORB LOSS OF INVENTORY FOR ANY PRODUCT THAT IS DEFECTIVE OUT OF THE BOX. I WILL, I WILL, BUT FIRST BEND ME OVER AND CHOOSE AN ABSOLOUTELY RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR MY TIME, KNOWLDEDGE AND LABOR SAY OH $49 DOLLARS PLEASE EXTEND THIS OFFER (YOUR SO GENEROUS) AND I GOT A GREAT IDEA LETS MAKE SURE THEIRS DEFFINETLY NO PROFIT BY GIVING AWAY A 2ND DISH FOR FREE. MERRY CHRISTMAS REGARDS, STEVE BRAMHALL-
