In the 4th quarter report, Dish Network reported that the profits were up, while subscribers were dropping the service.

Profits rose 24% while they lost 100,000 subscribers, but the news also brought a lower stock price for the company. Its shares fell 10% today after the news came out about the loss of subscribers.

The only way I can explain such a phenomenon is that rates are on the rise. The rate hike would be exactly what satellite networks are fighting when they advertise against cable.

In reality, fees and rate hikes are causing profits to rise, which is also a likely reason for the loss in subscribers. In a recession, however, things like cable or satellite TV are sometimes seen as a want rather than a need and customers drop the service.
