What happens when the number two player in an industry gobbles up its largest rival? Well, if you are talking about satellite TV provider EchoStar's proposed $26 billion merger with DirecTV, we could see greater competition in telecommunications, more consumer choice and a faster roll-out of new technology.
My cable company just put the Fox News Channel on the rotation. For more than 2 years, I begged them to add it and they wouldn't. Finally, I said screw 'em and got a dish. Haven't looked back ever since...
There is something cool about you television channel having 3 digits... especially if they are "360"
