Dallas "big 4" nets will NO longer be offered as "distants" by E*

A dealer on Claudes board just posted this. E* intends on switching over any customers w/these distants to Chicago around this coming May, as they are moving the Dallas nets to spot beams. In the interim, they intend to launch Tyler and Shreveport locals, where a significant percent of distant locals reside.

E* has also removed references to Dallas distant locals in their new prog brochures I picked up at CES, so this just confirms it.

if its true that they are taking dallas off. i think they should allow us to view all of the distant nets for one week for free so we can choose the ones we want to keep.
