Got to be honest, I always thought it would be Google who would buy out DISH, but Amazon also makes sense as well.

Interesting times we live in.

I would hope it is about adding Amazon Prime App to their Hopper.

I would hope it is more than that. There have been lots of clues in the uplink reports about Prime Video coming to the Hoppers. When will we see it? Who knows.

Since YouTube and other apps work better on my TV native, or on Roku, I see little value in having a slow running Amazon Prime on my Hoppers.

Wait. Do I hear the thundering hooves of four approaching horses?

There is absolutely a WAF of having Prime on the Hopper platform.

Exactly, see above (WAF = Wife Acceptance Factor).

I don’t stock would rise a penny because of an app. Most likely Dish is going to buy Amazon.

But seriously, Dish’s 5G is probably of great interest to Amazon.
