I don't understand it, but I'm betting on Charlie.

I feel the same... He wouldn't do it for nothing.

Maybe it has something to do with all those wireless frequencies they bought a while back...

Honestly I don't know more then that... but I do know Charlie... he wouldn't spend $1 billion if he didn't think he couldn't make at least $3 billion with it.

Dish Network programming straight to your phone without sling?

That's Terrestar, isn't it? They've had a rough time of it what with their $1,500 Windows Mobile 6.5 phone and all...

If I could venture a guess.. possibly an outdoor clip on antenna ( connected to a settop box of some type) that would allow customers to access TV and Internet from 4g cell sites (possibly AT&T or Verizon). I know such technology is being tested in other parts of the country and works well
