		<description><![CDATA[Satellite pay-TV service provider DISN Network Corp. (DISH) recently received a shot on its arm as Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services (S&#38;P) raised its outlook on the company from Stable to Positive. The reason for this upgrade was the proposed wireless network strategy of DISH Network. At present, S&#38;P rates DISH Network at BB-, which is still three notches below the investment grade territory of the rating agency. Earlier this year, DISH Network acquired 40 MHz S-band wireless spectrum through acquisitions of TerreStar Networks Inc. and DBSD North America Inc. Additionally, the company itself owns a slot of in-high-demand 700 MHz wireless frequency. DISH network has decided to deploy a nationwide ground based 4G LTE wireless network using the satellite airwaves. According, management applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, DISH Network Corp. (DISH) received a favorable ruling from department of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use its existing satellite spectrum of 40MHz for setting up terrestrial wireless network. Such a move initiated by the FCC will benefit DISH Network to deploy mobile broadband network, which in turn, will support smartphone and tablet usage, hence avoiding other inconvenient devices. Moreover, the company will able to offer triple play services (voice, video and internet), which they lacked in their product portfolio. The acquisition of DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. for  $2.9 billion has given DISH Network 40 MHz of satellite spectrum. Such massive satellite spectrum portfolio has encouraged them to appeal to the FCC for a waiver in order to set up terrestrial wireless network in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Corp. (DISH) reported third quarter 2011 financial results, where the bottom line exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate but the top line fell short of the same. Higher revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in subscriber related revenue and contribution from Blockbuster. We remain optimistic about management’s bullish outlook on higher subscriber additions in the upcoming quarters. DISH Network has already started deploying new promotional strategies like distributing the Blockbuster Movie Pass to new DISH customers. Moreover, we continue to believe that DISH Network has robust future growth prospects as the company plans to layout its two-way hybrid satellite-terrestrial broadband network. The company has already bought huge spectrums, which we believe will be utilized in the upcoming years to launch its first broadband service. However, continuous loss of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), the largest cable MSO in the U.S., is aggressively exploiting small and mid-sized (SMB) business opportunities. The company is currently providing metro Ethernet services in 20 major U.S. markets and is expected to offer the services in most of its point-of-presences by the end of 2011. The U.S. telecom giants are gradually expanding their fiber-optic pay-TV services. Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) with FiOS network and AT&#38;T Inc. (T) with U-Verse network have transformed the entertainment, information, and communications market into a highly competitive one. To counter competition, Comcast has decided to target the SMB segment, so far a core market of telecom service providers. Using its vast network of fiber optic, the metro Ethernet service of Comcast offers faster and cheaper Internet access to business enterprises than ]]></description>

However, the alarming sign is that net subscriber loss mounted in the previous quarter to 111,000 compared with a net loss of a mere 29,000 in the prior-year quarter. As of September 30, 2011, DISH Network had approximately 13.945 million subscribers. Fourth Quarter Highlights Quarterly GAAP net income came in at $447.7 million or 71 cents per share compared with a net income of $446.3 million or 55 cents per share in the prior-year quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Liberty Global Inc.’s (LBTYA) proposed disinvestment of Austar United Communications Ltd. to Foxtel is further delayed. The Australian regulatory authority, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), was all set to deliver its verdict on the proposed merger on November 30, 2011. Surprisingly, the acquirer Foxtel asked for some more time to ACCC so that the company can strengthen its arguments. Earlier, in October 2011, the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) extended the review of the proposed takeover of Austar by Foxtel for another 3 months. The FIRB is waiting for ACCC to take a firm decision on the proposed merger. In July 2011, Liberty Global decided to divest its operations in Australia. Austar, in which Liberty Global holds 54% stake, entered into a definitive agreement with Foxtel, to sell ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Corp. (DISH), the second largest satellite-TV operator in the U.S., has finally come out with its plan for its newly acquired bankrupt telecom firms. Recently, the company applied for FCC approval to deploy a high-speed wireless broadband network to offer mobile Internet services to its customers. In a filling with FCC, DISH requested for clearance of assets of its newly acquired entities DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. and for license waivers. In March 2011, DISH got a bankruptcy court approval to acquire 100% stake of DBSD for a total consideration of approximately $1.4 billion. In July 2011, DISH got another court approval to acquire bankrupt TerreStar Networks Inc. for $1.375 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Corp. (DISH) declared mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2011. Though revenue beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, driven by additional contribution from newly acquired Blockbuster Inc., EPS fell below it. However, the alarming sign is that net subscriber loss mounted in the previous quarter to 135,000 compared with a net loss of a mere 19,000 in the prior-year quarter. As on June 30, 2011, DISH Network had approximately 14.056 million subscribers. DISH Network blamed lack of gross subscriber addition (down 23.4% year over year) was the primary reason for this huge net subscriber loss. We believe the net subscriber loss resulted from new pricing plan through which the company raised its service charges. Management cited aggressive marketing promotion and increased level of discounts offered by the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), a leading provider of broadband cable television and Direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services in the U.S and Canada, based on strong third quarter 2011 results where both the top line and bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Shaw Communications acquired a 100% stake in the over-the-air and specialty television businesses of Canwest Global Communications Corp. (“Canwest”) for approximately $2 billion. The inclusion of such a popular broadcasting network is expected to position Shaw Communications as one of the leading entertainment and communications companies in the Canadian broadcasting industry. Moreover, with the acquisition of Canwest, the company intends to diversify its operations, which in turn will provide better future growth prospect. Furthermore, the inclusion of Global TV network will enable ]]></description>

It all started earlier this year when Time Warner Cable (TWC) launched a new application that allows live cable television viewing for its subscribers on the iPad while at home. But Viacom along with few other media entertainment companies objected to this application and demanded extra fees from the company. According to these media companies, Time Warner Cable is apparently violating the programme distribution rights by streaming their channels on iPads. In April 7, 2011,Viacom became the first media company to file a lawsuit against Time Warner Cable, thus ushering in a new media war. In response to ]]></description>

From last March, the entertainment industry is witnessing a new legal battle between cable operators and cable channels once Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) introduced a new application to stream TV programs on the Apple Inc. (AAPL) developed iPADs. Therefore, any subscriber can watch the TV programs just by downloading the application on iPAD. As soon as Time Warner Cable introduced this innovative application, Viacom Inc. (VIA.B) was the first among several content developers to protest. The company argued that it has given right to Time Warner Cable to air its program on television and not to watch from any other devices.

(LBTYA), a leading cable operator in Europe, Latin America, and Australia, has suffered a setback regarding its proposed acquisition of Kabel Baden-Wuerttemberg GmbH &#38; Co KG, the third largest cable operator in Germany. In March 2011, the company won the auction to purchase Kabel Baden for approximately $4.5 billion. The deal was expected to be closed in the second half of 2011 subject to the regulatory approval. Recently, the European Union regulators decided to refer the case to the German antitrust authority (Cartel Office) to properly investigate the possible harmful effects to the deal. In January 2010, Liberty Global acquired UnityMedia GmbH, the second largest cable operator of Germany. The German antitrust authority already described the merger of large cable operators to be detrimental to the competition ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. after Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), is planning to acquire cable operation from NewWave Communications. The transaction is expected to cost Time Warner $260 million and will be closed by the end of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals. The acquisition will help the company in two ways. First, it will allow Time Warner to expand its footprint to non-urban areas where NewWave mainly operates. Second, Time Warner will cumulate 70,000 basic cable customers, 42,000 Internet users and 26,000 telecom subscribers of NewWave Communications. The urban areas are becoming highly competitive as big telecom giants like Verizon Wireless Communication (VZ) and AT&#38;T, Inc (T) are offering cable services through Fiber to the Node (FTTN) or Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) communications ]]></description>

Long-term potential of Liberty Global is visible now after its decision to acquire the third-largest cable operator in Germany, Kabel Baden. Western Europe became an extremely lucrative segment for the cable operators. These markets witnessed growing demand for pay-TV services coupled with triple-play bundled services that combine video, Internet and telephony. Liberty Global also purchased the second largest German cable MSO, UnityMedia in 2010. In our view, the enlarged company is likely to take over the market leadership position from the incumbent Kabel Deutschland. Deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 networks has enabled the company to provide considerably high-speed data transmission, which is on par with other large ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We upgrade our recommendation on Virgin Media Inc. (VMED) to Outperform. The company reported strong results for the first quarter of 2011. These solid results were primarily attributable to solid top-line growth, higher operating income, and customer&#8217;s preference toward the company&#8217;s bundled services. Virgin Media&#8217;s bundled service offerings are gaining increasing market traction. Customers are now more inclined toward high-margin premium services, which offer faster speed. At present, 63% of its total customers subscribes to the company&#8217;s triple-play services. In the last quarter, quadplay penetration climbed 12% year over year. Moreover, Virgin Media&#8217;s Business segment performed exceptionally well, adding new enterprises to its high-speed fiber network.

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Corp. (DISH) declared financial results for the first quarter of 2011. Quarterly GAAP net income was $549 million or $1.22 per share compared with a net income of $218.2 million or 52 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. First quarter of 2011 EPS of $1.22 was well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 68 cents. This fabulous performance was primarily attributable to higher total revenue and lower subscriber promotion subsidies, which declined by a whopping 27.7% year over year. In another major development, DISH Network and its sister concern EchoStar Corp. (SATS) have settled all their pending legal battles with TiVo Inc. (TIVO) related to patent infringement.

Although the company maintains its previously given financial outlook for fiscal 2011, it now anticipates that growing competition in the Canadian telecom market may result in lower than expected revenue. Meanwhile, Shaw Communications also stated that ongoing cost cutting measures will enable the company to attain its targeted free cash flow in fiscal 2011. In the reported quarter, the company retrenched 550 employees of which 150 were in the managerial positions. Though this business restructuring process will cost between $25.6 million to $30.7 million, it will result in early cost savings of approximately $51 million.

(TWC), the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. recently got involved in a legal tussle with a leading entertainment company Viacom (VIA) regarding the streaming of cable TV shows on iPad. It all started last month, when Time Warner Cable launched a new application that allowed cable television streaming for its subscribers on the iPad while at home. But few media entertainment companies like Discovery Communications Inc.(DISCA), News Corp.&#8217;s (NWSA) Fox Cable and Viacom objected to this application and demanded extra fees from the company. According to these media companies, Time Warner Cable is violating the programme distribution rights by streaming their channels on iPads.

We have already seen how frequently mobile devices developers and network infrastructure solutions providers are suing each other for patent infringement.

		<description><![CDATA[TiVo Inc. (TIVO), a developer of advanced television services including digital video recorders (DVR), was accused of infringing DVR patents according to a latest suit filed by Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (MMI). Motorola indicated that it was seeking to protect its interests after TiVo sued Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ), which uses Motorola&#8217;s technology, for patent infringement. Motorola claimed that it had acquired the DVR patents through the acquisition of Imedia, which filed for the patents in April 1995. TiVo has a long history of fighting law suits against major companies such as Echostar Corp. (SATS), Dish Network Corp. (DISH), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), AT&#38;T Inc. (T) and Verizon.
