EchoStar Communications Corp. is teaming up with Internet-service provider
EarthLink Inc. to offer customers a bundle of satellite-TV and high-speed Internet
services.

According to the agreement, EchoStar's resellers will offer Earthlink digital subscriber line as
part of a bundle with EchoStar's Dish Network starting late this summer.

Customers who live in areas not served by Earthlink DSL will be able to sign
up for Earthlink dial-up Internet access, EchoStar said.
