Since he's worth Billions, he could probably care less.
It doesn't mean any such thing unless he sells some of his Dish stock.
So you know Charlie personally now. Hey guys you think that Mitch can get us all special deals? I would like the everything pack w/blockbuster for $20 per month. Work on that for us and then get back to us.

Where did I say I knew him personally? You don't think he checks the stock price at least once a day?
I did get a "welcome back" offer from him a couple of days ago. Might come back in a year or so. You never know.

I don't understand why everybody is piling on Mitch. Each customer who cancels Dish, costs Dish almost $900 to replace. If they cannot replace them the subscribers number will shrink. If it will shrink to much the stock price will go down and the Dish stockholders will loose money. Very simple.
Conclusion: Mitch is right.

Well the dispute didn't seem to hurt Dish's stock it has hovered around $70 for the past month. It's back up to close to $72 now.
You keep using uverse for tv
It won't be long before you are some where else if quality is a a factor in your household.
How do you like your local channel fee BTW?
You miss the point. New customers might have an upfront liability, but they pay it back to a profitable balance over time. On the books they are a net gain. Lost customers that are not replaced cost only their individually small contribution to fixed overhead.
Of course, a lot of losses would have a negative impact, but replacement customers don't "cost".
Just to point one thing out. In 2013, dish averaged $4.74/sub/month. That's after all expenses. That is net gain. Assuming every customer is worth the same value, Dish is LOSING a net gain of just over $5M(this is based on that dumbassery statement by Tim Carry from Fox). Considering they made a net gain last year of around $806M, and adding on additional services and customers, even with the high cost acquisition rate, Dish is still coming out profitable. And if you want to claim stock holders are going to base their decisions on customer subscriptions, then more subs with contracts(and even no contracts on Sling TV), means more happy stock holders. This is not the case, but based on what you said, these are the holes you need to fill before spouting off about this. Look at the entire financial report, not just one or two numbers. You might be shocked that the folks who get paid to analyze them and make company wide decisions... Might actually know what they are doing.
Why not? It's the way they've handled every dispute. This one actually ended fairly quickly compared to some others.
Doubtful. The AMC dispute went on longer, and they gave away Rokus AND credits. And, since AMC (Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Mad Men) is way more popular than FNC, I'd imagine more people called to complain.
