Why Cable ( $CHTR / $CMCSA) should cut a deal with $SATS (EchoStar):

They pay $VZ ~$2B/year for MVNO access — with no control. They're building on sand, and Verizon holds the tide.

EchoStar can offer:
✅ Lower cost per line
✅ 5G network slicing w/ guaranteed QoS
✅ Strategic leverage against $VZ

Cable MVNO can run on Dish as primary, $VZ as fallback.

Equity, board seats, long-term alignment? Very possible.

$CHTR has made it clear that a big part of their Cox acquisition is related to wireless. We'll see if they are smart enough to plan for the future...
