Charlie gives to both Democrats and Republicans - all depending who is sympathetic to his agenda. More power to him. As for the auction, he did what's allowed (albeit on a scale that had not been seen before). The two entities he partnered with have a history of working with companies like...

Does anyone know what the price increase for businesses is? Specifically restaurant/bar.

no

DISH sent out an email after 5p central today detailing the plan. DISH retailers can access the document on Portal. There is no mention of any restrictions related to whether you previously received a free iPad/iPad mini. From what I can tell residential and commercial customers can...

Effective June 1 through the end of the year all existing customers that refer 3 new DISH customers will receive a free Sony PS4 and (I'm assuming) a total of $150 bill credits!
