Merger could be terminated November 22nd

Would DTV still want to pick up Dish at fire sale?
Echostar is actually worth more right now, because of their assets, spectrum, wireless phone service, Hughes Satellite and of course Dish.

They are just very cash poor right now and high debt.

DirecTV is just TV, none of the other assets, still carrying debt, not as much as Echostar, about $10B

Anyone wanting to follow the lawsuit filings, rulings, etc. (in progress) can find it in the Federal court Pacer system.
Search for US Bank Trust vs Dish DBS.
