Dish works to rescue $3.3B spectrum discount on AWS-3 licenses
Dish Network this week said it made changes to its relationships with Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless LicenseCo, the two designated entities that won roughly $13.3 billion in AWS-3 spectrum licenses during the FCC’s 2015 spectrum auction. The moves are an effort by Dish to regain a 25% discount on those licenses—reducing the total cost by around $3.3 billion—by using the FCC’s small business bidding credit for “designated entities,” or DEs.
