Social apps and additional video on demand is a cool addition for their customers, but I want to know what they have against live streaming outside of the home? I ask that question of the majority of TV providers. Working for DISH, I know they are the ONLY provider to offer live streaming TV over 3g, 4g and WIFI networks on nearly any smart device. Anyone interested should check out the DISH Test Drive where customers and non customers can see what its like to have the freedom to watch TV anywhere they want.
