Sling TV, the live and on-demand streaming television service, today expanded its Spanish-language offering with the introduction of “Centroamérica,” a new regional package including networks from Central American countries, such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and more.

“Sling TV continues to lead the way in offering the most robust Spanish-language options at an industry-leading price, with the ability to choose programming from a specific region, language or genre,” said Jose Romero, general manager of Spanish-language marketing for Sling TV. “The addition of Centroamérica allows customers from Central America to easily connect with programming from home alongside their favorite programming from the U.S.”

Centroamérica is available for $10 per month when purchased on a standalone basis, or $5 per month when combined with “Sling Orange,” “Sling Blue” and/or any Spanish-language service from Sling TV.

NSR Policy: The DoD’s Spectrum Game

This week we cover spectrum issues, with a particular focus on the implications of last week’s Department of Defense (DoD) report on the feasibility of sharing the 3.1 – 3.45GHz band with wireless carriers. Our New Street colleagues published a note describing the report and its implications for DISH/SATS, T, VZ, and TMUS.

SATS: Shuffling Assets and Cash

Last week, EchoStar released its 10-K’s for DBS, Dish Networks, and Hughes. With these filings, we can see all the movements of cash between entities in the fourth quarter, and most of the shuffling in the first quarter. In this note, we review these cash transfers as well as the internal spectrum sale that helped fund Networks through the first quarter.

DoD spectrum report released – implications for Dish, Verizon, AT&T, a...

The DoD released its report on the feasibility of sharing the 3.1 – 3.45GHz band with Wireless Carriers. The report concludes that sharing is feasible if certain conditions are met. It also makes clear that meeting the conditions will be challenging. The ability of carriers to share the band, and the timing of its availability have important implications for the value of Dish’s spectrum and for the businesses of the national carriers generally. We cover both in this brief report.

NSR Policy: Net Neutrality: It’s Back!

This week, we focus on the FCC’s upcoming Net Neutrality order, which is likely to be made public on Thursday and voted on April 25. The big picture is that the item will be approved on a 3-2 vote and largely resemble the 2015 order. As we have been in the past, we are skeptical that the rules will be material to the financial performance of the ISPs but there are a few interesting nuances to this iteration.
