EchoStar Annual Report

[charlesrshell]

I have been reading the EchoStar Annual Report. On page eight it list the satellites. 118.7, 119, and 148 are not mentioned. Does someone else own them?

They belong to DISHNETWORK I think , not Echostar.

Is this because of that split thing they did recently?

Yes, in the reorganization, DISH (DISH Network) kept some sats and allowed others to be taken by SATS (Echostar Corp). from which DISH leases some capacity.

If you want to read about the DISH owned/leased sats, go look at the DISH annual report (since most of this thread appears to be quoting material from the SATS annual report). Interesting bit: DISH will be using the 118.7 deg W slot for quite a long while with their long term lease with Telesat.

Thanks skysurfer. Do you have a link to Dish annual report?
