| | | Satellite TV groups almost out of auction | | Posted Wednesday, August 23, 2006 5:24:59 PM by Blog57 Team | | WASHINGTON -- A partnership of the two top satellite television companies that qualified as the top potential bidders in the federal government's airwaves auction had all but dropped out of the competition by the close of bidding Tuesday. Wireless DBS LLC, a partnership between EchoStar Communications Corp. and the DirecTV Group Inc., was the top qualifier for the auction, posting a $972.5 million deposit. Due to inactivity, the partnership's eligibility to bid on licenses shrunk dramatically. "I think the prices just got too high for them," said Tim Farrar, president of Telecom, Media and Finance Associates Inc., who has been tracking the auction closely. The auction, which is expected to bring in between $10 billion and $15 billion to the government, got under way Aug.... | |

| | | Cable and Satellite TV Providers to Bid Aggressively at FCC ... | | Posted Friday, August 11, 2006 9:10:46 PM by Blog57 Team | | Communications providers are increasingly trying to do everything by offering “quadruple-play" bundles of telephone, television, internet, and wireless services. And as telephone operators such as Verizon and AT&T creep in on the pay TV market, cable and satellite providers are getting increasingly jealous. That's why the satellite and cable television industries have built alliances to bid on wireless spectrum at the current FCC auction, so as to bring their own brands to the forefront of the highly profitable cellular phone business, and make gains in wireless broadband to boot. Three of America's leading cable companies, Time Warner, Comcast, and Cox Communications, have formed an alliance to bid on spectrum, probably with the ultimate intention of rolling out their own nationwide mobile phone network.... | |
