Virtually none, in fact, Craig. Which is why Dish, since the article happens to
be talking about Dish, is aggressively morphing itself into an Internet OTT
site. They know better than anyone else that the future is not with one-way
broadcast DBS service.
And to turn this around on you, did you notice just how much sway even the last
TV network in the pecking order has? And you keep telling us how TV networks
are in such steep decline?

It does so only with artificial constraints that no longer apply. Can you
receive TWC TVE where you live, Craig? If not, why not?
Once these different walled gardens unwall themselves, as Dish and Verizon have
started to do, do you not see that the almost identical bundles among the
different MVPDs will no longer remain identical?
