I believe ATT will sell or spin off the Latin American DirecTV service and affiliations with Sky Brazil and Sky Mexico and I'm surprised that hasn't happened already. That is a money making side of the business and should be attractive to someone out there.
I see the US side of DirecTV as a big turkey because ATT has severely degraded its value and there is no simple fix to regaining their premier status in the direct to home satellite business. They have laid off most of the talent responsible for any innovation and cutting edge technology advances and much of the maintenance people that keeps everything running smoothly. With the current number of maintenance personnel its impossible to perform proper periodic maintenance and they can only react to equipment failures, which will increase exponentially as time goes on.
Then there was the 5yr plan to get off the satellites and deliver all content via broadband like fiber, 5G, etc. We are several years into that plan and the longer it goes the worse shape the satellite fleet will be in with no plans for building any replacement spacecraft. Any potential buyer that is satellite business savvy will look at what ATT has done to DirecTV and probably cringe. I think it will have to sell very cheap because it will cost a lot of $$ to put it back together and hire more people if satellite is to remain the primary delivery for content.
If a company intends to deliver content via broadband only, then what is to stop someone from starting from scratch? ATT has stated they wanted to copy the Netflix business model so there would be no satellites, no dishes, no receivers, no warehouses, no installers, no expensive uplink centers, no uplink center employees, etc. All they would need is a plan, some good software and app weenies and some massive Internet connectivity. Then start negotiating with content providers and advertising like crazy. Why would you buy a satellite company if your goal was to provide content via the Internet? Doesn't look good for ATT from my point of view.
