Good news.
Let's hope that it doesn't drag out into a long legal battle now. Hopefully the looming NBC Universal deal will make Comcast want to give the appearance that they're not going to withhold programming.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Jan. 20, 2010 – DISH Network, L.L.C. today issued the following statement regarding the FCC’s program access decision:
"DISH Network congratulates the FCC for delivering consumers a double victory: First, sports fans in Philadelphia and San Diego will soon have a choice of pay-TV providers; second, consumers can no longer be held hostage during a contract dispute between cable programmers and video distributors. DISH Network thanks Chairman Genachowski for his leadership and for standing up for consumers and competition."Scott
