The satellite TV service business has always been an extremely competitive industry. Today there are about ten to twenty million satellite customers in the U.S. alone. Satellite service providers can broadcast world wide because they beam their broadcasts from satellites that rotate around the planet - so naturally these satellite service providers are in competition with each other world wide. But the competition among satellite service providers does not stop there. They are not only in competition with each other, but they also have to compete with local cable and standard TV service providers.
