Dish's Wireless Ambitions
The Trump administration's plan to create a fourth wireless carrier through Dish Network has failed. Dish Network's owner, EchoStar, has sold $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, ending any hopes of Dish becoming a serious wireless competitor. The plan was doomed from the start, with Dish having little experience in wireless and the company's 5G network being a 'disappointing mess'. The failure of the plan has significant implications for the US wireless market, with reduced competition and potentially higher prices for consumers.
