Dishnetwork Passed 13 Million Customers Milestone

Dishnetwork satellite TV service passed the 13 million subscriber mark. Dishnetwork is the fastest-growing pay-TV provider in the nation since 2000, with more than 7.74 million net new customers over the past 6 years - more than all other satellite television and cable companies during this period.

Dishnetwork reached one million subscribers in 1997 and passed the 12 million customer milestone last year, in December 2005. This company offers customers more than 500 channel choices, including 30 national HD channels - the most offered by any satellite TV provider.

Dishnetwork expects to raise programming prices by about 3 % in 2007 because of rising programming costs.
