Inmarsat Says No to new GBP 3.2 bln bid from EchoStar

EchoStar confirmed the bid and said it will continue to find common ground with Inmarsat, with a view towards buying the company. It believes a combination of EchoStar and Inmarsat is “strategically compelling.” The combined group would be one of the world’s leading satellite providers and be well supported by a global portfolio of complementary assets and service offerings. – Telecompaper
