Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

[John2021]

They are selling a $400 phone (specs are real close to Samsung A36) that you can likely get a good deal on... for $500.

the phones made in america doubtful. i bet you can buy the cheap china version for under 200.00 with the same specs

Dish isn't going away until the last satellite fails...many moons from now

they could sell off what's left of the remaing sats to someone else and they could repurpose them for other uses would be my guess

when we had the enterainment package with direct they would always discount it by 50% under cutting YTTV!!!

They are making money from the satellites

Not sure about that...WOR lost their tv license..only thing bankruptcy did was to delay...not the same situation but similar tactics

Right, not so sure that he can hang onto bandwidth indefinitely courtesy of bankruptcy. I would bet the auction terms carried provision not to be able to hang onto it through BK if failing to meet utilization requirements. Way I view it, they've been giving him a break already, and now, at the least, he has to "bend the knee" to the trumpist gov't in manner of other supplicants such as Amazon, CBS, law firms, etc.
