| 09:28 EDT |  | DISH | DISH looking to develop broadband service, says Wells Fargo
After DISH (DISH) agreed to develop a fixed-mobile broadband service with nTelos (NTLS), Wells Fargo does not believe that DISH is looking to build a network. Rather, the firm thinks that DISH is looking to build a broadband service that is likely to operate on Sprint's (S) spectrum. The firm views the nTelos deal positively as it gives DISH a head start in developing a broadband offering in case it acquires Sprint. The firm keeps an Outperform rating on Sprint. |

| 08:38 EDT | | NWSA | News Corp. adopts stockholder rights plan ahead of split up
News Corporation and the new News Corporation announced that, in advance of their planned separation, the Board of Directors of the company and the current Board of the new News Corporation has each determined to adopt stockholder rights agreements for the company and for new News Corporation, respectively. The rights agreements would expire one year after the date of this announcement, in the case of the company, or one year after the date of the separation, in the case of the new News Corporation. The company said it has considered that there may be significant volume of trading in shares of 21st Century Fox and the new News Corporation around the time of the separation, and for a period thereafter. The rights agreements are intended to protect the stockholders of the company and the new News Corporation from efforts to obtain control of such companies that their respective Boards of Directors determine are not in the best interests of the companies and their respective stockholders, News Corp. said. |
