Dish needs SkiQ which will re invent the Satellite T. V. business by doing away with Satellite dishes and cables..
At&t wanted SkiQ but could not come up with a SIM card to match the Super router... T-mobile did and the merger with Sprint only came about by helping to make Dish the 4th largest telecom company.. 
SkiQ is apart of the puzzle.. 
A buyout to get SkiQ plus TriCascade's other products is imminent.. 
Buy now or chase later!
