Dish Network and AT&T Have a Deal—But It's Not a DirecTV Deal
Dish Network and AT&T Have a Deal—But It’s Not a DirecTV Deal Dish Network has announced a deal with AT&T which, for now, is DirecTV’s parent company. But it doesn’t have anything to do with pay-TV. For many years, it’s been rumored that Dish Network and DirecTV would one day merge, or at least form a tie-up of some sort. They have attempted to do just that, on multiple occasions, and it was frequently discussed in the tech press last year when it was first clear that AT&T was planning to sell a stake in DirecTV.
