EchoStar plans to undertake a complex series of transactions to improve its viability. The firm will sell its television business to DirecTV in exchange for about $10.5 billion, primarily composed of debt assumption. Existing EchoStar convertible bondholders will provide $5.5 billion of new capital.
Additional wireless spectrum will be needed to meet exploding demand for wireless data services. As carriers struggle to add capacity efficiently, the value of EchoStar's largely fallow spectrum will increase.
After more than a decade, EchoStar has yet to put a viable wireless network or business strategy in place.
