CNNMoney’s Paul La Monica writes Thursday about a potential purchase of EchoStar, the company behind DISH Network, by AT&T, further solidifying the bond between television and telecom providers. For some time now, you’ve been able to purchase DISH Network programming through SBC (which purchased AT&T and recently changed its name to the old-school brand’s) at a discount, and this would make the “one stop shopping” even more of an easy sell, in both directions.
TV + Phone companies = No brainer?

Up in Canada, we already have the marriage of TV and phone companies! I live in Edmonton, Alberta where our telephone provider (Telus) just started offering digital TV and our TV provider (Shaw) just started offering digital phone service (I believe it is VoIP, but not sure).
Only a matter of time before it happens everywhere.
