By the time the 2014 World Cup hits, the joint venture could have a similar number to DIRECTV with over 5 million subscribers. This move back in 2011 could now pay off huge for the small capitalization company, as it could become a major player in Brazil through its new joint venture. The real loser through this joint venture could end up being DIRECTV. Earlier, DIRECTV tried to bid for GVT unsuccessfully.
On top of that
In Mexico, EchoStar has a joint venture using the name DISH Mexico with MVS Comunicaciones SA. That joint venture has 2.3 million subscribers in Mexico. Coincidentally, America Movil, who leads in Brazil, has a strong partnership with EchoStar in Mexico. America Movil also has the option to acquire a majority stake of Dish Mexico, if EchoStar obtains a license to offer pay television in Mexico.
It is huge opportunity for mirada to sign much more contracts.
