This looks like some pretty big news for BTC.   Dish Network has millions of subscribers, so this puts BTC right in front of everyone as a payment option. 

This should lead to a lot more people learning about bitcoin and its benefits...

I just stumbled across this in the news. Seems like a major win for bitcoin. Another mainstream organization jumping into the game. Hopefully more companies will follow suite.

It is not just another good news. It is one of the best news we had so far. The DISH turnover is much larger than that of the other pro-Bitcoin firms such as Overstock and Virgin Galactic.
