Advance / Newhouse filed their latest Charter ownership disclosure earlier today. The buyback amount of $1.7BN for the quarter was almost double the Consensus estimate of $0.9BN. It is a touch below our estimate of $1.8BN, but we were miles ahead of Consensus. Buyback estimates for the quarter and the year should be revised higher.

After launching 5-year price guarantee plans in April, Comcast has now announced some tweaks to plans that are discounted for one year, and to rack rates. These announcements are less meaningful than the 5-year plans, though they continue to inch gradually in the right direction. Our quick thoughts in this brief note.

Translating Carr on SATS
Yesterday, at the post FCC open meeting press conference, Chairman Carr made some comments about the situation with SATS. In this note, we report on the comments as well as providing a translation, as the words on their face do not indicate where he thinks the process is heading but they do, if interpreted properly, indicate where he would like it to go. In addition, we tie Carr’s comment to the Bloomberg report that Ergen is seeking a 30-day reprieve from creditors.

As SATS Chapter 11 Clock Clicks Down, Does FCC Need to Act?
On May 30th, SATS declined to make an $326 million interest payment. Given the automatic 30-day grace period, that means SATS must either make the payment by June 30th or it goes into default. Per President’s Trump’s instructions, Chairman Carr is supposed to be negotiating with Charlie Ergen to see if there is a path to avoid bankruptcy. In this note we discuss what we know and cannot know about those negotiations.

Rethinking BEAD 2.0 as States Rethink Their Options
Earlier this month, as expected, Secretary of Commerce Lutnick released new rules for BEAD, requiring all the states to rebid and prioritizing the lowest cost option. Our initial reaction was that the new rules would shift funds from fiber to satellite, a negative for wired providers including CMSCA, CHTR, T, and VZ/FYBR. We still think that but in talking to numerous stakeholders, that magnitude of the shift may be less than we initially thought. In this note we examine two themes that have ...
