As much as I dislike big cable, there was nothing preventing EchoStar from bidding on Adelphia. Perhaps Mr. Ergen should start his own programming business...hell, I'm sure there is a huge demand for that masterpiece called Charlie Chat.
I got lost in all the legal babble. Is Dish basically saying they should have access to Comcast/Time Warner exclusive programming such as the CSS sports network? I live in an Adelphia service region and have long hated the fact that I can't get CSS.
Sounds more like a deal. E* in exchange for access to Comcast owned programing on E*'s terms will not object to Comcast obtaining Adelphia.and creating an even larger monoply in local areas. There argument is that this will better serve the public good and create a more competitive market.
It will be interesting to see if the FCC bites.

So INHD1, INHD2, and all the ComcastSports, plus anyothers channels have to be made available. But will be all Ala Carte.
OMG...if we could get ComcastSports Net in HD....now that woudl be sweet. I'd pay 10 dollars a month for that one channel. Also INHD...That would be a wonderful day!!!
