could be....

example...I think Dish paid DirecTV 500,000,000 when the deal was not approved when they tried to merge several years ago.

it was in the deal as a condition if the merger failed....

so who knows....

The reason....once people heard of Dish buying Dtv more customers went to dish instead of DTV during the buyout process, thus DTV took a hit for a year on subscriber growth...

so in the end, buy out deals to include failure fees....some times.
