I, for one, wanted the merger. It would have helped people that could not get highspeed internet access to get it. It would have helped to keep the subscription prices low, although they are still lower than most cable companies. The merger gave echostar more muscle in negotiations w/ network providers. It could have added more channels to all of us.
