DirecTV, Dish considering merger, source says

Telecom operator AT&T and its joint-venture partner TPG are in early-stage talks to merge their DirecTV satellite TV service with EchoStar owned Dish, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The two companies first attempted to merge in 2002, when U.S. Department of Justice blocked the tie-up. The combined entity would create the largest pay-TV service provider in the U.S. at about 16 million subscribers, if negotiation is successful.
