DirecTV Says Sale of Hughes Network Systems 'Imminent'

摘要

DirecTV Group, further distancing itself from its orice-am-bitious broadband delivery plans, said the sale of what remains of its Hughes Network Systems (HNS) broadband service and hardware division is "imminent." Industry officials said the sale, which has been in negotiations for months, is likely to be to one or more private-equity investment companies and not to a strategic investor wanting to add the HNS broadband terminal business to its own.
