EchoStar 25 still listed for 2026 launch to 110W. They have added EchoStar 26 with a projected launch to 119W in 2028.

I'm shocked they're launching two satellites. It's like drunken soldiers are running this company.

If they don't, they will destroy it quicker and not fulfill their federal responsibilities. These are replacement satellites; satellites do have limited life spans. So, it's to keep the company running, or would you prefer they just go out of business?

They need to focus on delivering video over their 5G network, satellite TV days are numbered. That investment should be going towards a 5G STB and 5G home internet.

How's your track record running the company compared to Charlie? Not as good I bet. Isn't it funny that no matter how often you claim he doesn't know what he's doing he somehow manages to outsmart everybody. The constant nay saying is wearing thin.
