Shady backroom meetings and flat denials of any deals in the works
can only mean that there must be a deal on the table between Verizon and
Dish Network.

Verizon has reportedly been in talks with Dish to purchase
a large chunk of Dish Network’s spectrum.
Buying spectrum from a private company may be
Verizon's best shot at increasing its spectrum holdings. Plus, much of
Dish’s spectrum is complementary to spectrum Verizon presently owns.
