Before anyone declares a victory for Dish, this is far from over.
Where exactly is Charlie going to sell his cell phones?
Blockbuster stores would have been perfect, and if the Directv/AT&T buyout has told us anything, the independent SATELLITE retailers are NOT cell phone dealers. So even though selling cell phones through Dish looks appealing, it will not be a success if he thinks he is going to get the retailers to sell his garbage.
Then what you really got to look at, even if Charlie was able to resell “Boost” that is a prepaid cell phone carrier that caters to lower income customers.
What dish needs is the higher end customers that AT&T and Verizon have with their post paid service.
I think we shall see, but I still don’t think dish is in a position to be a 4th cellular phone provider and if they do go that route, watch Dish implode like Directv has
