"We see distinct synergies between our respective television distribution services and believe that DISH Network customers will benefit from the further reach provided by a broadband offering," said Chris Wagner, Executive Vice President of NeuLion. "We believe that the match of our technology with DISH Network's international programming rights will greatly benefit ethnic communities in the United States."
