RE: USSB IR
RP, Thanks, I may give them one more try. I have some tough questions for them.
Slighty off topic - Anybody seen the activity on DISH lately. This whole sector has been hit pretty hard lately. Lots of short term red ink, but promising 1-3 years looking out. Watching closely.... |

I've been looking into this company, which seems to have excellent prospects. The only problem I see is a suit from Personalized Media Communications L.L.C. that claims patent infringement against Hughs Electronic Corp's DirecTV Inc and USSB. Is this a threat or just some whining? |

I haven't seen a thing on it. Stock looks like it wants to move a little. Any word on subscriber base? I'm still trying to understand the arrangement between USSB and DirecTV. Any thoughts? |

I have been in USSB for several months now as I caught it at a low point at about 10. This new deal with DISH and News Corp seems to pose a formidable competitor to USSB. So far the implications have been sustained as USSB was up early riding the DISH wave. Does anyone know what this new deal is going to do to USSB and its future subscriptions? The news said that the new company Sky will begin major activity later in the year. I guess all we can hope for is another big-time company to pick up USSB. Blake T. |

The only really viable acquiror of USSB is Hughes (DirecTV). They both come off the same satellite and use the same technology platform (DSS). One has to remember that once the consumer has purchased a DSS dish and box its only programming providers are DirecTV and USSB; you can't point a DSS dish at a Sky satellite. Assuming that the combined DirecTV/USSB programming package stays competetive (in terms of content and price) with Sky et al, the installed DSS subscriber base of approximately 3 million is a hell of a headstart. |
