Big Deal for Dish

Dish Network revealed their plan to offer wireless voice, video, and data services, according to Yahoo Finance. This isn’t too big of a surprise after the company snatched up nearly half of the spectrum licenses in the AWS-3 auction (although, the licenses have yet to be distributed due to the investigation into the Designated Entity usage). Yahoo Finance obtained confidential a document that indicates Dish is seeking a chief marketing officer to help guide its move into the wireless space. “We are preparing for something big,” the document said, later proclaiming, “This is an incredibly exciting time in our history. We have reinvented ourselves in the past, and we are preparing to do it again.” (Yahoo Finance) The document continues explain that the new CMO “will be an integral part of the team that changes entertainment forever as Dish enters the wireless business and becomes the only provider that can offer wireless voice, video and data.”
