Interesting SBC News... Any ideas?

[Scott Greczkowski]

As you may have seen there have been some rumors going around between some kind of deal between Dish Network and SBC, including rumors that SBC would be aquiring Dish Network.

This press release just came across my desk which peeked my interest. SBC is having a special Keynote at tommorows Smith Barney Citigroup Conference.

Any ideas what this keynote will be about?
