EchoStar Won't Renew Quest Deal

[SatelliteGuys Reporter]

In a statement released by the company EchoStar said it will seek to expand relationships with current and future telecommunications partners that focus on meeting customer demand for single-bill bundled services suggesting that Qwest was not bundling the Dish Network subscriptions with its other telecom service offerings. EchoStar said it will honor its current multi-year contract with Qwest though the company did not say when that agreement would expire.
