MSFT and ATHM have a deal. MSFT seems to be jumping on every broadband deal that they can. cbs.marketwatch.com

Thread: I today received a brochure from Bell Atlantic promoting a special offer of DirectTV and USSB where they said that they will install the dish for $99 with various programming choices. I need to buy a dish for $100 and have to pay $5.99/month rental fee for the receiver and remote. So the total initial cost will be $199.00 (dish + installation) and monthly fees for various program packages. Is this a reasonable offer? I know that I can save $99 if I install myself. I asked them about any internet hookup, they said that they are working on it. I also verified on Bellatlantic's InfoSpeed homepage for DSl and they said that it will be available in June/July. Thanks in advance for your response. -Nat
