This service actually has pre-dated the HBO annoucement in the industry. There will be lawsuits from big cable, they will lobby regulators to impose cable service fees into them. Actually I'm not sure this will be the case. Right now Comcast knows they're treading very close to the anti-trust line. They're actually being very careful on the net-neutrality issue particularly with their acquisition of Time Warner still under scrutiny while letting DISH provide service over their wires may be a bitter pill it might be a necessary evil for them to deal with. Its actually very good timing on Dish's part to get this out there now when new regulations may be forced down Comcast's throat as part of their expanding empire.
