		EchoStar maintains its construction of Section 628(b) is consistent with the plain language of the statute.
		EchoStar maintains that because the effect of not having access to SportsNet is enough to find a violation of Section 628(b), the Commission does not need to find that Defendants' purpose for not selling its programming to EchoStar was to inhibit EchoStar as an MVPD competitor.
		EchoStar's argument would have us find that it is somehow unfair for a cable operator to move a programming service from satellite delivery to terrestrial delivery if it means that a competing MVPD may no longer be afforded access to the service.

		EchoStar attorney Harold McElhinny has been telling the Texas jury that EchoStar invented its own DVR that uses technology different from that of TiVo, but it is an uphill battle, Clark said, in part because of the legal rule known as the "doctrine of equivalents."

	Where does EchoStar fit in the new telecom and cable world? - Mar. 15, 2006
		Some fear that EchoStar, despite having a solid, attractively priced TV service, won't be able to compete against companies that are offering video, voice and data, the so-called triple play.
		The fear is that EchoStar, which often has sought to take advantage of customer dissatisfaction with cable firms, may run into trouble now that the two biggest cable companies are taking over the troubled Adelphia.
		In addition, some are concerned that AT&T, which currently has a partnership to cross-sell EchoStar satellite TV service to its customers, will not need to partner with EchoStar for much longer since the telecom is in the process of building its own network for video services.
