In October, T-Mobile and Dish struck a deal where T-Mobile agreed to extend the option for Dish to buy 800MHz spectrum until April 1st, 2024, for $100 million. However, it seems like Dish won\u2019t be meeting that deadline, despite already shelling out the $100 million. According to T-Mobile CFO Peter Osvaldik, if Dish doesn\u2019t go through with the purchase by April 1st (which they have confirmed they won\u2019t), T-Mobile will have to put the airwaves up for auction.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dish informed the SEC that it will not exercise its $3.59 billion option to buy 13.5MHz of 800MHz low-band spectrum.
\n\u2013 If Dish doesn\u2019t buy the spectrum, T-Mobile will have to conduct an auction by fall.
\n\u2013 The FCC will determine who can participate in the bidding process.
\n\u2013 AT&T and Verizon may be interested in the spectrum as it is adjacent to their current holdings.
\n\u2013 However, there are restrictions on selling the airwaves to other national mobile network operators without government approval due to agreements made during T-Mobile\u2019s acquisition of Sprint.<\/p>\n
Other entities like Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company and Anterix are also eyeing the spectrum for potential use in providing wireless services.<\/p>\n
If Dish does indeed pass up on buying the 800MHz spectrum, T-Mobile will step in as the auctioneer \u2013 a role typically held by the FCC. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
