legion125 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ergan is a shrewd player. He may sit pat or he could be up to something. Financial analysts think that Dish Network may be bluffing about its intentions to fully build out a nationwide LTE Advanced network, and that the satellite company may be instead using that as a negotiating tactic to increase the value of its spectrum holdings. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/analysts-dish-may-be-bluffing-about-lte-advanced-network-buildout/2012-03-07 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was thinking about that before, but it makes a lot of sense for them to build out a network and be able to offer an all dish package of TV, voip and internet to compete with cable companies Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it was cheap enough, I would consider signing up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also partner with a cellphone provider like Sprint with a network hosting deal similar to LS2 and have one of the conditions be that they can bundle cell coverage in with the TV, home phone and internet.

Then they could compete with the Twin Bells and maybe even drive prices down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion125 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 If some of the rumors are still true, a hosting agreement with either Sprint or T-Mobile would be huge for either, preferably Sprint which would help make up for the LS2 loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would love that. But I won't trust Charlie until the ink is dry and the first payment has been delivered. Or cashed, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
