That's alot more than wireless headquartersTrying to get out of the underwear discussion-
Looks like Dish sold their wireless headquarters and are now leasing it back-
Satellite television giant Dish Network, after kicking off the year with layoffs and completing a $26 billion merger, is cashing out on its Colorado headquarters campus as it races to pay off billions of dollars of debt approaching maturity.
Also from here-
CONX entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement ... of the commercial real estate property in Littleton, Colorado, comprising the corporate headquarters of DISH Wireless, for a purchase price of $26.75 million

The 1st thing I read is you're a free baller. Not quite what I was expecting...lol

Hearing what? It is a three paragraph post on a blog, that vaguely references Bloomberg as a source, with no link. And the end of the post says: "There is this far no formal comment from either business." which makes the article title [echo]CLICKBAIT[/echo].Here we go again-
DISH open to DirecTV merger
Not the first time, merger reports between North America’s two DTH operators have emerged, but a Bloomberg report states that Charlie Ergen’s DISH Network (advanced-television.com
Why we are hearing this again, because of UBS-The report come a day after investment bank UBS wrote a note outlining the benefits of a merger between Dish and DirecTV.
Hence the point of here we go again.Hearing what? It is a three paragraph post on a blog, that vaguely references Bloomberg as a source, with no link. And the end of the post says: "There is this far no formal comment from either business." which makes the article title [echo]CLICKBAIT[/echo].
If you read the first line, analysts at Bond research specialist, Gimme Credit, they did a report on Echostar last week, hence the new story.Well, that article did a good job copying the other articles on the subject.
They need to hurry up, with all the money due by 2026, continue the build out, need a extra $15-20 Billion.Ergen's future remains tied to the monetization of the 5G network. That is where the growth in revenue is available. With revenue growth comes lending viability and the issue of debt starts to fade. The questions are:
- is the network built out enough to make money
That is another big question, from I read, Boost Mobile Customers are still on Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile Networks via the sharing agreements they all have.- who is/are the paying clients
Why spend the billions when you can just use someone else's network...no maintenance costs that wayIf you read the first line, analysts at Bond research specialist, Gimme Credit, they did a report on Echostar last week, hence the new story.
We are going to see a lot more of these stories, as Echostar tries to handle the mounting debt, via investment , loans, get the bond holders to agree to a new deal, etc.
There will be a lot of stories about DirecTV also, as AT&T has made it know it will be up for sale this summer, they will have to open up the books.
The first one was with Fitch Ratings, in Jan 2024, a report came out that confirmed all of DirecTV is still losing a average of 500,000 per quarter.
That also confirms what I believe, if Dish did not have the 5G money pit, they could of easily outlasted DirecTV, who is about 2 years from being unprofitable.
They need to hurry up, with all the money due by 2026, continue the build out, need a extra $15-20 Billion.
That is another big question, from I read, Boost Mobile Customers are still on Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile Networks via the sharing agreements they all have.
Hey we agree, except Dish has already spent billions and will need billions more, so to achieve the 75% of the United States build out.Why spend the billions when you can just use someone else's network...no maintenance costs that way
Here comes the vulture capitalist to get all the meat off the bones!BLOOMBERG:
"Dish Network Corp., the satellite-TV provider saddled with more than $20 billion in debt and losing customers, has received financing offers from private credit firms, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Dish has fielded at least one proposal of more than $1 billion for financing that would be linked to a so-called unrestricted subsidiary, or a unit that’s free to incur debt, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss confidential talks. Among options on the table would be debt that is collateralized by Dish’s wireless spectrum, one of the people said.--------------------------------------------"
