Dish to Bid In 600MHz Auction Next Year

[cdmagurus.com]

Dish Networks plans to participate in the FCC's 600MHz incentive auction next year, according to an executive. The company will bid on airwave licenses even though it was recently denied a $3.3 billion discount on licenses it won in this year's AWS-3 auction. The company did not say what it plans to do with the spectrum. Dish already owns a significant swath of spectrum, but has yet to deploy any sort of wireless network. Sprint recently said it will not participate in the auction, while T-Mobile has been very vocal about its plans to spend up to $10 billion securing country-wide 600MHz airwaves.
