Guess this means echo star will cease to function. Since AT&T bought out Cingular I’ve had more dropped calls in a week than I previously had in a year. Not to mention, AT&T has decided to add roaming charges if you even turn on your phone overseas.

Oh Charley! Say it isn’t so. Dish has good customer service and ATT has nonexistent customer service.
To: Las Vegas Dave
I thought Dish was privately held by Charlie Ergen.

When I moved into our home in Garland, TX AT&T owned the cable company. Lousy service and reception. Then Comcast bought them out. Worse service. I soon switched to DirecTV and never looked back. (Now TimeWarner owns the cable.)

I hate these stories. I have a crappy little phone company and a fair cable TV company that gives me a pretty good connection speed. I’m moving across town next year to a nicer, bigger new home and the cable company won’t run line out there. So my only choice is to go back to some slow DSL connection speed with the crappy little phone company.

“I thought Dish was privately held by Charlie Ergen.”
It’s a publicly traded company, although Charlie and his wife own huge blocks of the stock and virtually all of the voting shares.
I’ve known Charlie for many years and bought just 500 shares when he went public only because Charlie was running the show and I knew he was the world’s biggest cheapskate — it’s been one terrific investment and looks to be even better right now.

Probably a good thing- better than a Directv and Dish merger.

Same here with Cingular. We dropped it, got a cheapie TracPhone. Now it looks like we might lose Dish Network too. Ug.

AT&T is owned by SBC.....I retired from SBC Operations...now the name on my pension check is AT&T. I hired on with Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company in Jan. 1971. PT&T was owned by AT&T. Retired from SBC just shy of 32 years.
