Trump wants EchoStar, FCC to reach ‘amicable’ deal over wireless licenses, company says
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump prodded Dish TV parent EchoStar Corp and Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr earlier this month to reach an amicable deal over the fate of the company’s wireless spectrum licenses, the company said in a filing on Friday.
In May, the FCC told EchoStar it was investigating the company’s compliance obligations to provide 5G service in the United States, questioning EchoStar’s buildout extension and mobile-satellite service.
