Brean Murray Carret & Co. maintains a 'Buy' on Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) price target of $33.00.

Brean analyst says, "AT&T (NYSE: T) files to Block DISH FCC Spectrum Waver...AT&T says it's 'critical' that there be those requirements because of the commercial value of DISH's spectrum...This is a clear indication that an AT&T acquisition of DISH is not in the cards in the immediate future (negative near-term)...This is also a clear indication that DISH does NOT intend to build out a full ground infrastructure (positive long-term)...We believe this is why DISH has been rather loudly touting its partnership for DISH in the long-term (assuming it is granting its waivers which we believe it will be) because 1) it will enhance its service profile vis-a-vis its competitors by adding a wireless delivery component at a favorable cost advantage, and 2) DISH will not need to dilute existing shareholders by seeking external funding to rollout this service."
