In filings with the SEC, EchoStar said it was changing its name to DISH Network Corporation. It’s also expected to spin off its set-top box business as well as its Sling Media division to a new company called EchoStar Holding Company.
This makes things a bit easier to keep track of, since most people know the brand (Dish Network) rather than the company behind it (EchoStar).
Meanwhile, AT&T is supposedly still looking to acquire the DISH Network Corporation but no announcements have been made yet. This is one rumor that everyone expects, but that hasn’t happened yet.
