Thanks Scott

I need some suggestions on good companies to buy tools of the trade from...any suggestion welcome

Never happen, these 2 cannot stand each other

This just gets more interesting by the minute. McCaw was basically the grandfather of the modern US cellular industry and when sold his company to what was AT&T Wireless ( now Cingular ), he dove into this WiMax thing. The stars are aligning for this merger to take place, Ergen will just watch...

Weighing A Potential EchoStar-DirecTV Merger R.M. Schneiderman, 07.19.06, 4:09 PM ET Citigroup upgraded shares of DISH Network provider, EchoStar Communications, to "buy" from "sell," following media speculation about the increasing possibility that the company could merge with rival DirecTV...

I think your fooling yourself to think that the rural issue is even in play anymore. The times they are a changin'...

Ergen is going to make a major fortune considering he is the majority stock owner. Echostar is a very top heavy corp and could use a good pruning or takeover.

Cable is a monopoly when there is no competition from other sources. But with Fios and IPTV in a market, the game changes and is changing. So when I say the definition of monopoly has changed, that's what i'm trying to say. Things are changing so fast in this industry that I can't believe the...

Scott, I've only been on this site a few hours and its' great that you this forum. I think you've got your finger on the pulse of what's happening in this industry. I know that this merger is going to happen because the timing is right now for it. If Charlie & Rupert wait any longer, they will...

You right about the service side suffering, but thats the nature of the beast. The stock price really doesn't figure into this because we are talking about Mr. Murdoch. He is the "Media Mogul", when Charlie was denied his bid to buy DirecTV,( which Murdoch wanted and did everything in his power...

the word monopoly has a different meaning now. The Telcos & Cable companies are monopolies and they are getting into each others traditional businesses, i.e., video, voice & data. Satellite companies are just going to be another player in this game of telecommunications and DirecTV and Echostar...

excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is HD Lite?

I think your all in a state of denial, the economics of a merger out weigh any other arguement. The TWC/Comcast takeover of Adelphia have opened the door for this to take place now sooner then later. Murdoch & Ergen are both too smart not to jump on this because if they don't combine now, the...

I'm a ex FSS 3 @ Dish, they waste a great deal of money and equipment when contractors can do it for less...

I don't think this is as much doom and gloom as much as it is reality of the business climate now. Even a tight wad like Ergen can see the writing on the wall. Things have changed in the past 3 years since Charlie tried to buy DirecTV and it's so ironic that the tables have turned.

Thanks for the info. This "merger" is going to happen because the FCC cannot say yes to TWC/Comcast takeover of Adelphia and say no to this. The first thing DirecTV will do is eliminate Dish's Installation service department and you can quote me on that.
