Default 1M Dish subscribers in MWC footprint

per Thompson, we won't get a deal done until all 1M call their dish subscriber to complain.

I'm going to call my great aunt that lives in Denver that has never watched football in her life and wouldn't recognize Cosmo from the TCU Horny Toad to call in and demand the MTN. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this guy??!!

Guess what Thompson/MTN/other idiots?? If you are in the MWC footprint and have dish right now, you probably don't give a SHIT about the MTN. Stop telling them to call. It's not working.

Thompson is trying to deflect blame for his idiotic decisions that led Comcast to get the mtn. and play it's little game of "we have it and if you want it, you have to subscribe to our shitty product."

Thompson sucks.

Comcast sucks even more.

It's clear Comcast is keeping the price artificially high so they can squeeze as many dish subscribers as possible to convert to Comcast. They make $7M a year for every 10K subscribers they convert. They're working it hard.

If dish does something stupid and forks over $18M a year (which is what Comcast is asking apparently) for the MTN, then Comcast will laugh its way to the bank and won't worry about the subscribers they'll lose back.
