Residential C-band customers pay more for programming than
cable customers, so maybe Dish Network thinks that business
small dish customers will do the same?  At least there
is some competition now.

I remember when AT&T charged $300 for a 30 minute video feed,
and that was the least amount of time you could buy.
This was in the 70's when new cars sold for $5000.
The age of the Ku-band satellite truck and 5 minute
windows for $30 just about put AT&T out of the video
business.  Miraculously they figured out that they could
do video a LOT cheaper :)
