Nice to see someone else taking an interest in TSAT besides myself. I have been to Englewood, met with management including Malone and spoken with all the top shareholders. Unfortunately, what at first seemed to be a conditional DOJ approval has changed into a political witchhunt first against Malone and the 'cable guys' now against Rupert Murdoch. C. Ergen is afraid of this potent combination. According to Malone, Ergen is teetering on a highly leveraged balance sheet making him unable to weather setbacks and making him capable of anything. Ergen is now referring to the recently announced deal as a shell game.

Leaving anticompetitive Ergen aside, what are the chances the DOJ signs off on this deal in the next 30 days?
