Dish made right decision with Blockbuster

Published May 19, 2011 at 5:00 AM


Dish Network Corp. made the right decision in pursuing Blockbuster Inc. because it "improves their strategic flexibility," says Thomas Eagan of Collins Stewart LLC. However, Eagan doesn't think more Dish acquisitions are on the horizon. The buyer is focused on creating mobile video and data service, he said, while "at the same time growing their existing pay TV business." - Katie Roof
