I thought Echostar (DiSH) was all set to buy DirecTV a few years ago, but the deal fell through because it didn't clear those "regulatory and antitrust hurdles".
Why should this deal be any different? BTW, I've been a satisfied DiSH customer form many years. If Charlie sells, and quality declines, and rates go up, I'll switch to cable, and get a 1-year special for switching back.
Scratching my head. That's exactly how I remember it. They ruled Echostar couldn't buy DirecTV, but now the reverse is OK? Huh?
