EchoStar Communications dishes out a smorgasbord of entertainment. The #2 US direct broadcast satellite (DBS) TV provider (behind DIRECTV), the company operates the DISH Network, providing programming to about 6 million subscribers in the continental US. Subsidiaries develop DBS hardware such as dishes and integrated receivers and deliver video, audio, and data services. EchoStar has teamed up with Gilat Satellite Networks (a partner with Microsoft) and Colorado startup WildBlue to develop satellite-based two-way broadband Internet access. It is also joining OpenTV to provide interactive TV services. CEO Charles Ergen owns about 51% of the company but has more than 91% of the voting power.
