DirecTV dropping DNS

How could DISH be able to do what Direct TV cannot if it relies on a federal law to be able to do it? I'm very confused by all of this.

Dish once had DNS but axed by the feds for violations. Dish has pay for use plan DTV does not. Dish local service change might be better, not sure.

Dish might buy DTV not sure. But I'll speculate that AT&T will never give up the central US birds which does not have the Dish E/W nuances.
