If Dish buys direct where's El cheapo charlie going to get the money since he has none. I think direct would have to buy dish. In order for charlie to keep building out his 5g network. I don't see any cost savings in the deal. We all know once this happens people are going to keep leaving. I'm sure alot will drop it once and if the merger goes throughSo, would a merger allow them to revolve their debt more easily? I don't think Dish or Directv have debt capacity to absorb the other's debt.
