[edit] Merge proposal of Hughes Electronics

The Hughes article lacks any credible sources. The company is currently owned by DirectTV Group. The hughes article should be condensed down to the facts and merged here. Alan.ca 19:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I've done quite a bit of referencing in the past two days and the more I think about, the more I think Hughes Electronics should be merged into Hughes Aircraft. Hughes Electronics (I think) was more a brand name than an actual company - it was created as a subsidiary of GM (GM Hughes Electronics) to hold Hughes Aircraft and subsidiaries. Raytheon bought the defense businesses in 1997 and again it was Hughes Aircraft that was the main part of that deal. After this Hughes Electronics was a sat and comms business and it is this history which should be picked up on DirecTV article. Let me work on it. Mark83 14:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
