EchoStar Communications Corp. (DISH) provides cable and pay television services and divides its business into three operating units. The first unit, the DISH Network, is a direct broadcast satellite subscription television service in the U.S. As of Dec. 31, 2000, DISH registered approximately 5.26 million subscribers to the DISH Network. The second unit, EchoStar Technologies Corp. engages in the design, development, distribution and sale of DISH Network set-top boxes, antennae and other digital equipment for the DISH Network (EchoStar receiver systems); engages in the design, development and distribution of similar equipment for international direct-to-home satellite and other systems; and, engages in the provision of uplink center design, construction oversight and other project integration services for international ventures. The third unit, Satellite Services, engages in the delivery of video, audio and data services to business television customers and other satellite users. These services may include satellite uplink services, satellite transponder space usage, billing, customer service and other services. As of Dec. 31, 2000, DISH had six DISH Network satellites in orbit which enable it to offer over 500 video and audio channels, together with data services and high definition and interactive TV services, to consumers across the continental U.S. through the use of a small satellite dish. Since DISH uses many of these channels for local programming, no particular consumer could subscribe to all 500 channels, but all are available using small 18-20 inch consumer dishes. Total revenue for 2000 was $2.715 billion, an increase of $1.112 billion compared to total revenue for 1999 of $1.603 billion.
