I pay close to 40 dollars for my Dish subscription. I get SP, Life OK, Sony, Zee, Colors and other channels.
Just because I am not watching IPK does not mean, I will pull the plug. I DVR and watch other shows on other channels.
Even if I am not enjoying IPK and am mad at SP, pulling the plug on SP will increase my bill. Most people take package deal from Dish, at least in USA. If you take just one channel it still costs you 20 bucks. SO most people like me sign up the 40 dollar package and end up getting 9 channels.
This is why when people think, this will make a dent in their revenues, it will not.
More than 50% of IPK watchers internationally are online watchers or "free" watchers. It may not be 50% but very close to it I think.
