Joe Clayton speaks about DISH's future.

Good read. Mike and I have been having a discussion on another thread over prices and what the market will bear. While we disagree on some of the specifics, I think we both agree that the focus on being the "low-cost leader" is no longer going to continue to work in a saturated market, and as Charlie says, their focus is shifting on creating value-added technology and features that will continue to attract and keep customers and attempt to justify the growing costs in programming. The Hopper and its Joey variants, while leading the technology and feature-set edge, are also possibly going to keep production and maintenance costs in line with its modular approach, less hardware configurations to manufacture and maintain, and with the Virtual Joey, no hardware to maintain at all.
