Hope the FCC remembers the whole 148W DBS license lies and rips this out from under them too.

I think they should get a waiver until  the concerns about maximum power for E Block are finalized.. That seems reasonable to me.

Any of the other 3 could build this out.  Might as well take it back.

Heck, Dish could lose their rebanded fka-S-band spectrum as well. I certainly don't want to see that stuff going to AT&T or Verizon (though of the two AT&T needs it more) but that just might happen.

Thanks for showing restraint.

Take it easy, guys. Dish has only Lower 700 MHz E block 6 MHz unpaired licenses. There is no legitimate use case for that spectrum currently. Some relief is justified. AT&T would file for the same for its unpaired spectrum, but Qualcomm likely already satisfied those buildout requirements with its ill fated MediaFLO broadcast deployment. So, AT&T probably has that as a get out of jail free card.

Much ado about nothing.  Let Charlie have his waiver, and go back to Denver and lick his wounds.
