Dish Network won't bid against Sprint for T-Mobile, Ergen says

"We're realistic enough to know we're not going to outbid SoftBank in any transaction," Ergen said. "SoftBank has conquered us into submission."

 

 

That doesn't sound like typical Ergen/Dish

Did Charlie lose his Erges?

He's probably getting something out the deal.

Charile is definitely getting something out of the deal. So does Sprint and I don't mean overpaying for T-Mobile. A lot of moving parts to this one.

Maybe it will be like someone stated on the forums. Sprint gets the spectrum and the customers. Dish gets tmo infrastructure to build their network.

A lot of people here quickly and automatically dismiss anything related to a Sprint-Dish partnership since recent past events turned out sour but I believe this knee-jerk reaction to be short sighted and maybe even foolish. In a scenario where all parties can win, the dollar will subdue past events and feelings.

If it takes 45B to score tmo and take on its debt right now, despite his best poker face, Charlie doesnt have those kind of borrowing facilities. He was stretched with the ~23B he offered for Sprint. Either Softbank gets tmo and charlie has been promised first dibs on divestitures, or he storms in with a lowball bid after sprint's acquistion is rejected as an "only viable option for approval"

I don't think can afford Tmo. Even if he got it for 30-35bil. Dish isn't doing well right now. I think they were recently in talks with dtv buying them out.

Dish could be setting itself up to completely commit to this new wireless broadband thing.

a little snipet very interesting

 

2. SoftBank buys TMUS and signs a network sharing agreement with Dish. Charlie gets his network so that he can offer triple play services to compete with the cable companies and doesn't have to scrounge up the billions to build his own network. He contributes his spectrum, which is hosted on either Sprint's, TMUS' or a combined network (as above). Adding Dish to the mix placates the Justice Department by bringing a new wireless competitor to the market and the new company gets to deal with a recalcitrant baby in Ergen.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
