		<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[The present wireless market is ready for the incipient boom in the wireless data space with expanding broadband services. Data traffic is growing in leaps and bounds and has more than doubled over the last three years. As a result, U.S. carriers are finding it increasingly difficult to manage rising mobile data traffic. The situation becomes even worse with the growing popularity of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone and Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android smartphones. Stiff competitive pressure and limited wireless spectrum licenses add to the difficulties. The carriers are in need of additional airwaves to expand their high-speed services and support 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband services. As a result, the wireless industry in 2012 is intent on tapping unused spectrum to expand their capacity. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), which ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The telecommunications industry is growing consistently despite a volatile U.S. economy. This industry is identified as a major driver of economic recovery. Telecommunications is one of the few industries to have seen rapid technological improvement even during the last recession. Given the significance of the telecommunications industry as an infrastructure product, we expect the overall economic dynamics to shift in its favor. We also expect the telecommunications industry to grow faster in 2012 compared with 2011. Invention and Innovation The major thrust for the telecommunications sector is coming from nonstop network inventions by carriers. The introduction of super-fast networks such as HSPA+ and LTE has enabled handset developers and chipset manufacturers to develop innovative products that are compatible with the latest network technologies. Products like Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone, iPADS, ]]></description>

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[Competition sometimes creates strange bed fellows. Last week, this proverb was proved when Verizon Wireless entered into a spectrum purchase and products resell deal with SpectrumCo. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communicatons Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group plc. (VOD), and SpectrumCo, a consortium of U.S cable giants Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), and Bright House Networks, are arch rivals. But most importantly, does this deal has the ability to transform the U.S. telecom market structure into a duopoly, especially when FCC and Department of Justice are raising several questions regarding the proposed merger of AT&#38;T Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[DIRECTV (DTV), the largest satellite TV operator of the U.S., reported excellent third quarter 2011 financial results, where both earnings per share (EPS) and total revenue beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates. The solid result was attributable to double-digit revenue growth, significant margin expansion and record net customer additions. Management’s aggressive promotional plan of offering popular NFL SUNDAY TICKET coupled with upgrading customers with premium plans worked wonders for the company. Third Quarter Highlights Total revenue in the reported quarter came in at $6,844 million, up 13.6% year over year, and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,737 million. This was primarily attributable to massive subscriber growth in the U.S. and Latin American regions, solid average monthly revenue per subscriber growth and increasing contribution from the domestic market.

		<description><![CDATA[Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) delivered disappointing third quarter 2011 results. The company suffered huge video subscriber losses, which in turn affected the company’s performance in the reported quarter. Third Quarter Highlights Total revenue in the third quarter of 2011 came in at $14,339 million, up 51.1% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14,220 million. Both Cable Communications and NBC Universal segments contributed to the solid revenue growth. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $908 million or 33 cents per share compared with $867 million or 31 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. However, quarterly EPS of 33 cents was significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a Bloomberg report, AT&#38;T Inc. (T) is seeking to sell some assets or spectrum to rival companies in order to salvage its ambitious $39 billion purchase of Deutsche Telekom’s unit, T-Mobile USA. Earlier in March, AT&#38;T was keen to bring T-Mobile under its fold in a deal that would to be the largest in the wireless industry since 2004. AT&#38;T affirmed that the sale of assets would minimize the merger concerns like unfair competition, higher prices, job losses, lower innovation and investments in the industry. The move would help the company to gain necessary approvals from the government. AT&#38;T’s effort to buy T-Mobile is facing a major roadblock, with the Department of Justice (DoJ) filing an antitrust lawsuit to block the deal a month ago. But it isn’t ]]></description>

(DISH), in an attempt to capitalize on the recent price hike from the leading on-demand internet streaming media Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) plans to announce its new video streaming service rates on September 23, 2011. Recently, DISH Network acquired Blockbuster Inc for $228 milion. The acquisition of Blockbuster enables DISH Network to offer several movie streaming services over the Internet, thus efficiently countering the competitive threats from cheap online movie distribution companies like Netflix and Hulu. Netflix is one of the leading online video distribution company with a huge subscriber base of around 25.6 million across the U.S. The company recently changed its business model by charging $7.99 to subscribers opting for unlimited DVDs-by-mail and $7.99 for unlimited video ]]></description>

Information regarding Hurricane Irene will be broadcasted from DIRECTV’s 259, 325 and 349 channels, respectively. These news channels will cover all the news and detailed information related to the storm and its affected areas. DIRECTV intends to offer the service until the storm losses its force. The company also plans to provide graphical details to its subscribers regarding potential evacuations, closures, event cancellations and any  vital news when required.

		<description><![CDATA[DIRECTV (DTV) declared excellent financial results for the second quarter of 2011. These solid results were the combined effect of a double-digit growth of the top line and solid margin and ARPU expansion. The company is reaping the benefits of affluent quality subscribers, who are willing to pay for DIRECTV’s premium services and programs, which are pricier.  DIRECTV remains one of the few pay-TV service providers that are still generating video subscriber growth. However, net subscriber growth rate suffered a major setback in the U.S. in the recent times. This was primarily attributable to ongoing U.S. economic volatility and increasing competitive threat from telecom giants, who entered into the pay-TV services supported by their strong fiber-based network. Meanwhile, the Latin American operation continues to flourish and will remain strong in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on Telephone and Data Systems Inc. (TDS). The stock retains a Zacks # 2 (Buy) Rank for the short term. The company is a diversified telecom service provider offering wireless services through its subsidiary U.S. Cellular Corp. (USM) and wireline services through TDS Telecom. Telephone and Data Systems is pursuing several initiatives to reinvigorate growth including expansion of its 3G network, handset offerings and potential adoption of 4G Long-Term Evolution technology in the wireless business. The company is also aggressively deploying Triple-Play bundled wireline services through Dish Network Corp.’s (DISH) TV services. However, these positives are curbed by significant challenges in the wireless business as well as stiff competition from cable operators and Internet-based service providers in the wireline space.

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>

During the reported quarter, DIRECTV spend $1.51 billion to repurchase its own shares. Management is also confident that the company’s full-year EPS will jump to $5.0 in 2013 from $2.3 in 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[After the $500 million settlement with Dish Network Corp. (DISH) and EchoStar Corp. (SATS), Tivo Inc. (TIVO) is on the take over radar of multiple companies such as Google Inc. (GOOG), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Rovi Corp. (ROVI), as reported by Bloomberg. Bloomberg has estimated that Tivo could be sold at a price of $20 per share, indicating a market cap of $2.41 billion. In its last quarter, Tivo had settled a seven-year-long patent dispute with Dish and EchoStar over TiVo’s time warp technology. Now, according to the terms of the settlement, TiVo will allow DISH Network and EchoStar to use its time warp patent, in return for a $500.0 million payment that Tivo will receive from the two.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on DIRECTV (DTV). The company declared excellent financial results for the first quarter of 2011. These solid results were the combined effect of a double-digit growth of the top line, significant margin and ARPU expansion, and better-than-expected net customer addition. Management’s strategy to target high-end customers paid-off nicely as the demand for the company’s HD channels and digital-video recording services sky rocketed in the reported quarter. DIRECTV remains one of the few pay-TV service providers that are still generating commendable video subscriber growth. DIRECTV is reaping the benefit of affluent quality subscribers, who are willing to pay for the company’s costly premium services and programs with low churn rate.In the first quarter of 2011, DIRECTV added 184,000 net subscribers in the U.S. and 427,000 ]]></description>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[Late on Sunday, US President Barack Obama declared: “I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice….After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.” The press briefing instantly led to celebrations among citizens and the cheer was expected to be carried into the markets.

		<description><![CDATA[DIRECTV (DTV) reported excellent fourth quarter 2010 financial results, where both the earnings per share (EPS) and revenues exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The robust result was combined with a massive $6 billion share buy-back program. Management is also confident that the company’s full-year EPS will jump to $5.0 in 2013 from $2.30 in 2010. During the quarter, both the U.S and Latin American segment experienced huge growth in revenue supported by strong subscriber growth. Fourth Quarter Highlights Fourth quarter 2010 total revenue came in at $6,621 million, an improvement of 10.7% year over year, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,519 million. This was primarily attributable to massive subscriber growth in the U.S. and Latin America regions, as well as average monthly revenue per subscriber (ARPU) growth of 4.6% ]]></description>

(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. In August, 2009, TiVo filed a complaint against AT&#38;T Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. for the infringement of three TiVo patents. In February, ]]></description>

(TIVO), a developer of advanced television services including digital video recorders (DVR), will have to face a reopened patent infringement lawsuit originally filed by Echostar Corp. (SATS) in 2005, according to a recent U.S. District Court order. Under the order, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas lifted its stay on EchoStar&#8217;s patent infringement suit against TiVo. The suit, originally filed by EchoStar on four patents, has been brought down to one patent. EchoStar has also changed its position regarding the meaning of claim terms. The patent pertains to a mechanism that controls how multimedia files are stored, formatted and accessed. Hostilities between TiVo and Echostar dates back to 2004, when TiVo sued EchoStar, then the parent company of satellite television provider Dish Network Corp. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading provider of advanced television services, TiVo Inc. (TIVO) reported disappointing third quarter fiscal 2011 results. A loss per share of 18 cents was worse than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 17 cents. Net loss for the quarter came in at $20.6 million as compared with a net loss of $6.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This was in line with the high end of management’s guidance of a loss of $19.0 million to $21.0 million. The year-over-year decline was mainly due to weak revenue growth, lower subscriber additions and increasing operating expenses based on higher litigation expense. Revenue Net revenues decreased 12.2% year over year to $50.9 million. The decline was primarily due to lower revenues from service and technology. Service revenues dropped 9.1% year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Google TV has now been around long enough for the geeks to play around with it. And they have come back with disappointing reviews. While most were excited at the concept of wedlock between the TV and Internet, the marriage itself looks destined to be challenging. An article on allthingsd.com was particularly enlightening, highlighting all the basic problems in the version 1.0 product, from the cumbersome keyboard/controller to the complex navigation. The system tried out was a Logitech set top box (“STB”) and remote control on a Sony Corp (SNE) TV. Google has kept search as the main feature, enabling users to select a show from not just TV but the whole Internet. Even recorded shows could be searched, provided you were using a Dish Network Corporation ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Competition some time results in strange business agreements. The two fierce rivals of the U.S. commercial satellite TV market, DIRECTV (DTV) and DISH Network Corp. (DISH) are on the verge of entering a joint deal with a media buyer through which interactive advertisements will flow to both DIRECTV and DISH subscribers. In April 2010, these two companies formed a joint venture called ‘Advanced Satellite Advertising Platform’ to offer a combined interactive advertisement platform to media buyers. We believe the primary reason for this business cooperation is the massive competitive pressure that the satellite TV companies are facing from cable MSOs, fiber-based networks of telecom operators, and the newly developed Internet video streaming service providers. By agreeing to shake hands, both DIRECTV and DISH will get necessary economies of scale, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Thursday, November 4, 2010 As if it doesn’t already make enough headlines, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) is about to make even more… One day, it’s investing $5 billion in offshore wind projects. The next day, it’s providing a free nationwide phone service. Six years ago, the California tech company’s shares debuted on the stock market at $85. But as of November 3, 2010, shares traded for $618 – a massive 627% surge. And its $197 billion market cap is larger than Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO), AOL (NYSE: AOL), and the Chinese IP giant Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) combined. The Internet search provider has even held its own against the big boys of the hardware world – Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). For example… Search Engines: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), the largest cable MSO of the world, entered into an agreement to buy a 51% stake in NBC Universal from General Electric Co (GE), subject to government approval. Now, the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are considering arbitration in programming disputes as a condition of approving Comcast&#8217;s acquisition of NBC Universal. The cable and satellite companies such as DirecTV (DTV) and Dish Network (DISH) were worried that they will lose leverage when negotiating for programming. But this acceptance in arbitration will allow these companies to negotiate with Comcast for programs. The Comcast-NBC deal is expected to give Comcast full control of NBC’s television network, broadcast stations, cable channels and a share of the online video provider Hulu, as well as a movie ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) has announced its intention to acquire venture capital-funded ExtendMedia, which is a maker of content management system (CMS) software. The deal, which according to some could be worth as much as $80 million, is expected to provide Cisco the necessary technology for delivering video over IP. ExtendMedia’s OpenCase suite (for managing, publishing and monetizing video across platforms) had a few big customers, such as AT&#38;T Corp (T) and Bell Canada &#8211; a subsidiary of BCE Inc (BCE). However, further growth was limited by the non-availability of funds. Consequently, the buyout, which is currently expected to close in the first half of 2011 (subject to regulatory approval), comes at an opportune moment. Video over IP is an extremely hot area, expected to grow very strongly over the ]]></description>
