EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

[llokey]

AT&T still owns 70% of DirecTV.

So if Dish and DirecTV merge and if it is not a merger of equals, then AT&T would indirectly own most of a competing cell phone provider. It seems that Dish would have to be spun off from Echostar to get this deal approved.

I would only expect the pay television business to be part of the transaction, but I haven't kept up with the most recent news on this.

It is nice to have some energy back in the forum. Haven't had much to talk about since the ransomware attack.
