However, developments in the world of satellite TV providers such as Dish Network in the past year have begun to erase the distinction between the bundled services of cable providers and satellite TV.
In 2006, Dish Network rolled out a program that paired the satellite TV provider with the high speed internet services of Wild Blue. This new program allowed Dish customers the option of receiving a single bill for both their satellite TV programming and their high speed internet access.
Obtaining internet access for current Dish customers is as simple as having a dish antenna and satellite modem installed. Installation is free but a one time fee is charged for the equipment lease which also covers any future equipment upgrades. This new service through the satellite TV provider should prove to be particularly attractive to users in rural areas who currently have fewer options in obtaining high speed access and more often rely on slower dial up services.
The WildBlue powered internet services offers SPAM and virus filtering, 24/7 technical support, and at least 5 e-mail addresses with a minimum of 10MB storage. In addition, spyware and anti-virus protection is offered at no charge for the first 18 months of service.
With the recent WildBlue and Dish Network pairing, consumers now have more options while getting the convenience they need. As satellite TV providers continue to increase accessibility, expand programming, and now begin to bundle services, their ability to compete and even outperform the older and more traditional cable providers continues to grow.
