Most Dish employees will know next to nothing about a merger. Both companies will keep negotiations close to the vest. If an announcement is made there's a mandatory quiet period that a VERY small contingent from both compaies will know anything about what's happening.
This silence you're sensing could be the beginning of a long period of quiet till/if they announce a deal.

Just a question.
Why would it be advantageous for Dish to be acquired by AT&T? What would AT&T be expected to do that would be an improvement over what Charlie Ergen is doing?
I am curious. Is there something understood but not stated that I'm missing? I hope you guys (and/or girls) know that if AT&T acquired Dish there is no way Dish and DirecTV could ever combine due to anti-competitive issues.

The advantage is more on AT&T's side. It will give the a "triple play" to compete with cable.
Yes, thanks for the thought: however, doesn't that raise monopoly issues for the FCC?

I guess I don't see your point. There's no way they can merge now; the government shot down that idea a long time ago. It wouldn't make any difference.
I dont think it really would as they are currently doing vod service. This would just be an extention of that service into areas that they currently do not serve.
It might if AT&T were already competing directly with Dish, if there were only a couple of options for consumers, and it the merger were to give AT&T the majority of the business and unfair muscle over it's competition. In this case, none of those are the case.
So, it is Wednesday, mid-day, and no new uplink reports at all? Nothing?
Nada?
What did E* do, go on vacation? Have they been kidnapped by space aliens? Should we open a missing persons report?

How many will Jump ship this week??? I think thats the real question? Sorry guys.. I wish dish would get off there buts and stop seeing merger. Directv is whooping there butt and yet again another week not a thing.. but yet the day is not over yet.
Is there a reason why we have 2 NHLN i mean i do watch it but i think 1 is enough and not create a dupe channel
When the ex-Enron accountants redo the count they can count it as 2 channels instead of 1.

I like the way you think digi.
