(Pardon the "ergensays" typo in the subject line. I hit the wrong button long before I was finished with the post.)
According the Denver Post:
"If you are a late-paying customer who regularly calls to complain, Charlie Ergen doesn't want you.
Ergen, the chief executive of satellite-television provider EchoStar Communications, said he would give those customers Comcast's phone number, referring to the nation's leading cable-TV company.
A customer-service phone call "costs us a dollar a minute," Ergen said Thursday during a conference call with analysts after the company announced its first-quarter financial results, which missed analyst expectations because of higher costs."
Though I often find Charlie an annoying guy (and I'm sure he doesn't care) who talks too much, every now and again he says something worth listening to.
