I'm listening in, no mention yet, lawmakers are more concerned that they make rules that allow the govt. not to lose future monies on proposed incentive auctions for TV broadcasters.
Expect a few more details to emerge today when FCC Chairman Genachowski and four other Commissioners testify on "the new broadband spectrum law and the current status of spectrum auctions."
We're still waiting to see the full order and how much spectrum Dish will have to give up to avoid interference with the H block, but this seems like just the next step toward a sale or partnership for Ergen & Co.
What chances do you give Dish of being successful with a Sprint partnership? I think it would serve Dish to do an MVNO deal that lets it brand and package its own service. The idea of building its own network just seemed like a non-starter. Too expensive and risky. At least it's already trademarked a possible brand for the service, though "Ollo" doesn't exactly produce a lot of excitement. JB
