I don't have a good feeling about it. But who knows. Maybe their marketing campaigns have paid off...
With both D* and Fios expanding sub numbers significantly and with the loss of the AT&T agreement, I have a feeling E*'s sub numbers will be poor as they have been the last year.
Canabalizing D*s base. Aside from FiOS TV, Verizon has a Double/Triple/Quad Play partnership with DirecTV.
Yes, they've had an agreement like that for a while. I don't see how D* gets cannibalized. D* will get Verizon customers with the tie-in who don't have Fios available which is most of them. Stop to think about it. D* isn't going to enter an agreement with another company unless it expects to gain by doing so. When Fios enters a market, it picks up from the cablecos, D*, and E*, not just one provider. Now D* also has an agreement with AT&T. Is it going to be cannibalized by AT&T U-Verse now? If they are getting cannibalized they must be adding them faster by other means given their subscriber growth.
Verizon has a triple play bundle with D* For every fios going in more than likely 1 D* customer going away
Or an E* or cableco customer. You're ignoring the fact that most Verizon customers do not have access to Verizon Fios. D* is picking up subs from Verizon bundling in the nonFios areas or they wouldn't have an agreement. Same with the new AT&T agreement and U-verse. Why would D* enter into agreements that were adverse to them with not one but two very large telcos? Have densely populated areas since the advent of Fios and U-verse or even large bundling cablecos ever been prime subscriber territory for DBS?
