He figured out a new technology that would make satellite tv available to almost everyone. It would be a small 18" dish that did not cost even one tenth of the cost of the big c-band monsters.
The customers would love it because it was affordable, small, and provided great quality digital pictures.
The investors would love it because it would sell like hot cakes.
The installers would love it because it was extremely easy to install, and they would make great money.
That was over ten years ago, and things looked great for everyone.
It went like this for almost 5 years, until one day in 2001....
Charlie was high on life, as he headed home early to his Colorado mansion to see his beautiful wife after a short day at the office.
He was singing along to his favorite Barbara Streisand song on the local radio station, KGAY, when he pulled into his garage. He got into his elevator, and headed up to his master suite.
When he walked out of the elevator, he heard strange noises coming from inside the bed chamber, and he walked in and saw a toolbelt on the floor.
In the bed, he saw his wife on top of a young man wearing a Dish shirt. He ran the young punk and his wife out of his house.
That young man was, you guessed it .... an installer.
This, gentlemen, is the reason why we, the installers, have been getting screwed ever since.
This is Charlie's REVENGE.
