DISH has purchased BB

Netflix has taken off with its $8 per month streaming value proposition. No doubt DISH will attempt to use BB to cmpete in a similar way. Note this was bought in bankruptcy court. Hmm that works out to

$321 M for 1700 locations or $188,000 a location. I doubt they could start their own chain for that but netflix has no stores at all, the online versus brick and mortar battle continues. With high gas prices NFLX has the advantage.
