1:05 pm
ultimately, that is what the advertiser wants, to spend his money as effectively as possible. that is the message we are getting across. >> you spend your days working on all sorts of partnerships, allowing your technology to be used, deals with content providers so that you can make their content available through dish. disney is one of your longtime partners. a lot of people wondering when you may reach a new content deal. can you give us an update on that? discussions are ongoing. we are talking about the future of television. it is over multiple years, but it will take some time. we will end up with something that is as mutually beneficial for the disney corporation, dish, and the consumer. there is the constant questioning about the wireless strategy for dish. i will ask about t-mobile. a lot of people wondering if you want to buy t-mobile. technology company we

1:08 pm
>> we are used to boxing with the broadcasters. again, it all comes back to technology. cost can give us a lower that we can pass onto to the consumer, that would be an option. but there is a lot of water to catch. the courts still have to rule. it is more speculation than anything else at this time. -typeat about a hulu service? a similar question, is that something that dish would be interested in? >> you mean that service that does not have as many commercials in it?

of poverty. more contemporary times, as a reporter, i remember in the 1970s when gentrification became a word, people worried about what your people moving into their neighborhoods and throwing them out. >> and it is not just san francisco. in any city with a burgeoning industry around the world. in central and south america, asia, everywhere. tech companies have really boomed in san francisco, taking out huge corporate office spaces, and they are revitalizing -- we both lived here -- revitalizing certain neighborhoods, but at the same time they are driving up real estate prices. some people are happy about that, others are pretty. piss factor is not high
1:15 pm
enough, with all due respect, to all those people yelling at the buses. war where it is chest to chest, but nothing is really happening. what we are talking about, charging of these shuttle companies, who will then pass it on to the tech companies who can afford it -- i think it is a dollar a day per stop. >> we have not been able to figure out how much they will pay. of city bureaucracy, you cannot make a profit. that is estimated at $1.5 million. if you do the math of the cost these companies will incur, maybe around $8 million. tobe there is $6 million play with to make income inequality smaller intemperance is go.

1:18 pm
the past few years. endhere was a story about of year bonuses in 2013 were pretty good for people in the financial services industry, and there was a trickle-down effect to those people that sell services to these people. i think we have to question whether there was a trickle-down effect. in the 1980s, japan airlines would fly japanese tourist over and connect with japanese owned businesses, and would give them a credit card. i do not think we are seeing anything like that. an effect ofably people taking advantage of the fact that there are wealthy people here who are spreading their money around a little bit. how about ferrys instead? ces is all about the newest gadgets, but how about this for an experiment?
