All I can say is I hope NOT.

 

[mdram]

wouldnt that be a buyout/takover? not a merge?

 

[Troch77]

I'm mixed about it.
BUT
I think its a better merger for long term survival.

FiOS plus dish on roof?

Might give triple play. I have FiOS Internet and Dish video and ATT cell phones. Wouldn't take much to get me to consolidate. Assuming I can get Verizon coverage in WV.

I thought charter was buying Verizon?

I hope they don't get bought out. Things are miserable at Dish and I hope it stays that way.

Sounds like me, I have 3 different providers.
I wish Fios internet would come to my area.

Do we really need dish to screw up Verizon. I don't want to have to cancel my Verizon cell phone service and switch to At&t

maybe the deal would be contingent on Charlie retiring and not being able to vote

Well, as of now the rumor is Charlie would only have 6-8 % stock in the company, So I don't think Dish will have much input if this is the case.
He will just make a Huge amount of money, as will stock holders.

 

[Claude Greiner]

That would be a good thing

At least the corporate color schemes won't have to change!

I'm pretty sure if Verizon buys DISH, they'll pay you the millions they owe you. Verizon is a stand-up company.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Now thats funny.
Did you put a lien on Dish Claude.

 

[Claude Greiner]

I'll probably have an easier job getting my money from Verizon than Charlie.

He is a cheap screw.

I have fios and dish . If Verizon buys dish than I will cancel dish and save some cash. I am not going to give Verizon 2 checks a month.

I too have fios Internet and dish TV. Fios tv is too expensive in my area so I save about $80 a month having dish TV. If verizon bought em out i wonder what pricing would be like
