[Satellite TODAY 10-22-09] Morgan Stanley upped its grade for the U.S. cable and satellite sector to "in-line" from "cautious," in an industry analysis report released Oct. 20.
   The "in-line" mark is applied to industries who will meet performance expectations over the next 12 to 18 months, according to Morgan Stanley’s rating system. 
   The financial firm said that 4G wireless technologies will not be strong substitutes for higher speed wire-line and satellite data access in the near- or medium-term.
