Hey guy,
I work for cc. It sucks we can't carry voom. The reason is becuse we have an agreement with directv not to carry other satellite carriers. It would be awesome if we did. I love my system. I'll never go back to direct.
I hate when retailers do that. If you aren't selling Dishnetwork, then you are alienating almost half of the potential buyers out there. If Voom really takes off, then it could be an even bigger portion. No doubt Directv paid a hefty sum for exclusivity, but sometimes it ends up biting them in the ass.
A local convenience store chain here got big bucks from Pepsi to be the only soft drink company in their stores. Could you imagine not carring Coke, Diet Coke, or Sprite? Probably 3 of the top 5 items. It made good money for the corporate office, but put many franchisees out of business.
