Three bundles? What/How would this work?

It's important to pay attention to the innovative leaders in every industry -- the companies with new ideas that are transforming old technologies. It's not so long ago that Blockbuster was the leader in the video rental space. Not that much time has passed since Kodak was the leader in the camera space. Many of us have experienced the shift in music listening media from vinyl records to cassette tapes, CDs, and then downloadable digital files. Things often change very quickly. Pay TV is changing rapidly as well.
Three bundles? What/How would this work?They talked about creating three bundles of services using DirecTV -- for low, medium and heavy users.
I'm skeptical of their claim that AT&T will be able to use 'unused' capacity in the area reserved for emergency services for their own purposes. Since it is government owned, local governments will come up with their own ideas for how the unused capacity can be used.Lets not forget the synergies this will create for AT&T.
Overnight reports from the US suggest that AT&T will win a multi-billion dollar contract to build a nationwide first-responder network that will also provide the company with 20MHz of mobile spectrum.
If AT&T does win the contract the decision is likely to give the company substantial spectrum that it can use for other mobile services, so long as they can be reallocated to emergency services when and where needed.
AT&T tipped to win 25-year US emergency network deal
Do you really expect the "free market" to decide in your favor?Get out of the way and let the free markets decide, the perfect storm combined with emerging tech.
Wow, you've really swallowed the spiel you're being fed hook, line and sinker, haven't you? You remind me of all the democrats who thought Obama's election was going to change the world. Now it is conservatives who see a revolution coming. Reality is going to hit them in the face, just like it hit the liberals in the face when they realized that control of the white house and congress does NOT give you control of Washington. The people with the money are still in charge, as they have always been.Watch and learn in 2017 and beyond. Going to be fun watching the Comm. and tech sectors boom.
Why do you keep posting advertisements and opinion pieces?....You sources are getting to be troll like?Content Providers will be Feeling the pain also.
This is truly a revolution.
Splintering and lots of M&A all at the same time, amazing to watch.
The cost to enter the streaming market is sooo much cheaper than satellite thus bringing in even more top flight and lower end competition
You are going to be amazed at the content coming from the little guys, if a cat video can hold their attention, well, the sky's the limit. lol
It's time to change the core beliefs - or mental models - of media and entertainment companies if they want to survive,
It is not whether broadcasters, advertisers and content providers will be disrupted by the power of us and what we produce and distribute - but how quickly?
We, the people, are about to be direct competitors to the likes of ABC, NBC and CBS.
Look what me and you are doing right now, we are creating our own content, we could be watching reruns of Happy Days but we choose the much more brain stimulating form of interactive media, just imagine the stimulation kids are getting thru interactive social media. Much more engaging than a non interactive cartoon.
How Platforms Will Disrupt the Future of Media and Entertainment - Knowledge@Wharton
Summarizing the pros and cons for OTT distribution, Dish Network Chairman and CEO Charlie Ergen said there is a danger that the pay-TV ecosystem could be "chopped up" into a paradigm that is "truly an à la carte experience."
"The barriers to entry are not great, so pretty much anybody could enter into the marketplace," Ergen said Wednesday during Dish's third-quarter earnings call with investment analysts and media. "So, there's a lot of technical things you've got to do and there's some capital and so forth. But there's certainly big guys, big companies that could enter the business."
Streaming TV Will Put Pressure on Content Providers
Many more Giants to enter the fray, end to end, from content to delevery.
Mr. Ergen appears unconcerned-and it seems with good reason. He said that foreign carriers, cable operators and internet companies could also be interested in Dish's spectrum. And he is clearly prepared to wait for the right buyer to emerge. A lot could happen before 2020-the earliest deadline for Dish to put its spectrum to use in a network.
