I highly doubt it; Dish/Directv prices will always be lower than cabletv's. It's the only incentive they have against cable companies in urban areas. As for there only being one satellite company left, I doubt that too; they tried that a couple of months ago and the FCC said no. I doubt they'll change their minds in another 5 years. Plus Cablevision has plans to launch its own satellite service in september; so that's another competitor.
