AT&T and TPG finally close their sale.

[John2021]

It's going to be interesting to see how TGP handles this once the sats start failing!!!
as the sats start failing will more channels start disapearing from the sat service and goto streaming only my guess is yes
what about commerical subs that have crappy internet will they build another sat or lease space off another sat for them my guess is no

There is already another satellite abuilding and not far from launch.

Thats thier motive from the Start, they were in it for the money, not to Run or Improve it, it's that way with everything they do ...
Thats just the business they are in.

I believe that is DISH right. Not DIRECTV.

Probably, I don't see D* adding any, with everything being pushed to Streaming.

 

[navychop]

Yes. Echostar / Dish.

Where did you hear this? I haven't kept up on Directv as much as I used to, but I would have thought I'd hear about a new satellite.

 

[slice1900]

Since it sounds like Echostar is nearing bankruptcy, maybe Directv will get a lifeline as no doubt some chunk of the Dish refugees would sign up for Directv over their other options.

FCC Chair urges EchoStar to sell spectrum in 'best and final offer' – report

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is directing EchoStar to sell AWS-4 spectrum assets, holdings that happen to be coveted by Elon Musk's SpaceX, reports Bloomberg. The report surfaced soon after EchoStar disclosed it made delayed interest payments as talks with the FCC continue.

I heard tgp has or had an interest in dish also.. pure speculation though... though it makes you wonder if another merger could happen but under different terms. I say let either one of them go bankrupt and buy everything for pennies on the dollar. The 2.00 deal didn't make no sense what so ever. What in the hell was direct thinking!!!
