E15 has passed bt the 110W slot and will be at 119 around the 1st of August. Probably will see things changing sometime in the first full week of august.

Nothing has changed. The only reason it has not happened is because some EchoStar bondholders would not sign off on the deal.

TPG would not have bought the rest of DIRECTV if it they could not turn a profit on the deal. Onerous debt is what has gone away.

Wow. I thought things were smooth as described by at&t a year or so ago. No records but they know the dealers were overpaid? Smells!

I installed a Starlink a month ago and then switched it to the minimum plan, and then paused service. It's there for whenever my main fiber is unavailable. Can reactivate it for a month at a time within a couple minutes when or if I need it.

Bloomberg FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the agency needs to move “soon” in its investigation into EchoStar. “All options are still on the table at the FCC,” Carr said at a press conference after the agency’s monthly meeting on Thursday.

Bloomberg today: Echostar is asking bondholders for more time. Bondholders are resisting

One can understand why they are flogging streaming The May Nielsen Gauge report is out and streaming has surpassed the others. https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/the-gauge/

This has continued for sufficient days to conclude it is not a back office issue. I'm thinking a spot beam satellite is sick.

And in the middle of all the speculation, the Directv forum is reporting info indicating Directv satellite is no longer accepting new signups in large portions of the country.

Filed Thursday DTTM Operations LLC, the entity that manages trademarks on behalf of President Donald Trump, has applied to use his name and the term T1 for telecom services. Investor????

Cliff Notes EchoStar shares surged more than 50% in postmarket trading on Friday, after Bloomberg reported on the president's meeting with Carr. EchoStar's 10.75% bonds maturing in 2029 rose about 5.4 cents on the dollar to 108.5 cents as of 5:16 p.m. in New York, according to Trace. The bonds...

Bankruptcy imminent? Classic case of a well planned bankruptcy. Get everything you can into cash. The judge will likely let you keep it to fund continuing operations

I can envision a prepackaged bankruptcy with a small bond carve out for the judge to decide. EchoStar already had agreement with the majority of their bondholders to roll the debt. A small group held out. The judge could easily say their "crumbs" get swept up in a new deal - possible stock or...

E15 has drifted half way to it's new location - 119W Today it is around ~ 90W - south of St Louis

And, the judge will say the company can complete essential contracts to keep the company viable. In echostars case, definitely the new satellites .

Fortune 500 companies I worked for cut some legal corners and I ended up working for a professional Federal Bankrupty Trustee. This is the only work he did. He would fly in with his leather briefcase but most of his work was in the New York courthouse. The judge picks whomever he wants and it...

I recall AT&T saying towards the end - when they were the non managing shareholder of DIRECTV - there will be no more new satellites. With two new EchoStar satellites scheduled, it sure looks like your expectations are correct.

Dish and directv will join before subscriptions reach that level

EchoStar will likely launch their new Echostar 25 satellite (under construction) in 2026. Now, they have contracted for EchoStar 26 satellite to be completed in 2028. Contrary to the speculations about the satellite tv business dying, 2 new satellites in two years is a strong indication of the...

Somebody heard a good rumor or has some inside info.

The business press has mused that the FCC guy was pushing to get Musk some of the frequency. And, went on to say the FCC guy is messing with fire if he damages/destroys the viable 4th cell phone provider. People tend to forget, the big money has been spent, the nationwide network is essentially...

Quite plausible, the judge could tell the bondholders they are going to get delayed or reduced payment in order to keep the 4th largest wireless provider and one of the two satellite tv providers a going business. He could also convert the bondholder debt to ownership in a reorganized...

None of it is insolvent. They are chosing to sit on the cash and not make bond payments until they find out what the FCC guy is up to.

The judge would have lots of options. Bankruptcy attorneys will tell you it is better to file earlier than later. Why? Because it is likely the existing management will remain as debtors in possession and the judge lets them keep the assets, both cash, contracts, and hard assets while things...
