Ergen Skipping SkyFORUM

DirecTV boss Eddy Hartenstein will give an address at the Satellite
Broadcasting & Communications Association's May 20 SkyFORUM conference in
New York, but EchoStar Communications Corp. chairman Charlie Ergen won't be
attending, SBCA spokesman Robert Udowitz said.

The SkyFORUM agenda includes panels on high-speed Internet access,
digital-video recorders and high-definition TV.
