Dish Network Chairman Charlie Ergen speaks during Google's annual developers conference in San Francisco, California May 20, 2010. Dish Network Corp, the No. Some 15 years after the 70-year-old billionaire initially cleaved his satellite empire, he unveiled an all-stock deal Tuesday to reunite Dish Network (DISH.O), the $4.5 billion pay-TV operator, with the smaller EchoStar (SATS.O) infrastructure business. Dish shareholders, who will own 69% of the enlarged entity, are issuing stock at a rock-bottom price for the privilege. If nothing else, though, the modest 13% premium they’re offering to EchoStar shareholders buys some valuable time.

June 2 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) is in talks with several telecom providers to offer low-cost or possibly free mobile phone service to U.S. Prime subscribers, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Talks between Amazon and Dish were reported last week. The reported talks come as Amazon faces a slowdown in new sign-ups for the Prime service, its key loyalty program that offers subscribers faster shipping and video streaming. For telecom companies, a resell partnership with Amazon could serve as a means to attract new users and boost revenue. The details of the potential deals between Amazon and the telecom firms were not immediately known.

That's exactly what the Fed would like to see," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth in New York. The data brought relief to investors who now expect the Fed to skip an interest rate hike this month for the first time since starting its aggressive policy tightening more than a year ago. Fed funds futures trading showed an over 70% probability that the Fed will hold interest rates steady at its June 13-14 policy meeting. The S&P 500 communication services index (.SPLRCL), housing telecoms, fell 0.5% while the S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector (.SPLRCD), housing Amazon, soared 1.6%.

☆ As earnings season winds down, investors turn to Tuesday's debt ceiling meeting
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

With only a small fraction of the S & P 500 left to report quarterly earnings, investors are now turning their focus to another major hurdle for the markets and economy: the debt ceiling crisis. Earlier this week, we looked back to debt limit crisis of 2011 for potential lessons. The protracted fight ultimately ended in an agreement in early August of that year, but it was a choppy summertime ride for investors. Within the portfolio, Wynn Resorts will report Tuesday, after the closing bell, and Disney will report on Wednesday, after the closing bell. Estee Lauder (EL) and Emerson Electric (EMR) reported earnings before the opening bell.

☆ Dish Network—and Its Customers—Are Still Reeling From Cyberattack
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-25 | by ( Will Feuer | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Dish Network has yet to say whether customers’ personal information was compromised in a recent data breach. About a month after Dish Network Corp. disclosed a cyberattack, the satellite-TV and wireless provider is still working to get all its operations up and running. Customers said they are still struggling to access certain services such as HBO Max and other third-party streaming services, get into their accounts and reach customer-service call centers. Millions of people are waiting for updates from the company on whether their personal information was compromised in the data breach.

In a 2021 complaint filed with the ITC, Dish and its Sling TV unit accused Peloton and iFit of infringing four patents for video-streaming technology through imports of products that stream at-home fitness content. President Joe Biden's administration has 60 days to review the import ban before it takes effect, though presidents rarely reverse such actions. Cheney found that the Peloton, Lululemon and iFit streaming-capable products infringed patents related to Dish's Hopper set-top boxes. Dish said its patents covered adaptive bitrate streaming technology that lets users stream content from around the world in real time "at the highest possible quality". The technology was developed by Move Networks Inc and was acquired by Dish in 2012, according to court papers.
