A lively, fastpaced, unauthorized account of power brokers and skyhigh deals, 'Cutthroat' is the one book you must read to understand the players, the tactics, and the future in the brutal telecommunications market battle between satellite TV and cable. In 1997, Rupert Murdochs News Corp. joined forces with EchoStar, Charlie Ergens upstart company, to create a satelliteTV powerhousenicknamed Deathstar. The cable industry knew its lucrative monopoly was threatened, and with TCIs John Malone in the forefront, cable fought back and held off the assault. How this deal lit up the sky before crashing down to earth exposes the outsized personalities, the highstakes dealmaking, the shifting alliances, and the ruthless politicking that surround the pursuit of megabucks in telecommunications today.
