They want the 1695-1710MHz uplink to pair with their 2180-2200MHz downlink. As part of bidding for PCS block H they got a waiver from the FCC to use the 2000-2020MHz uplink, that was formerly paired with 2180-2200MHz, as a downlink. PCS H + 2000-2020 will give them a 25x5 allocation adjacent to Sprint's PCS G block. I bet that 25x5 block is pretty interesting to Sprint. I can foresee a lot of potential horsetrading between Sprint and Dish when it comes to spectrum and/or hosting that spectrum. I don't think that Dish is interested in becoming a 5th carrier. I think they want to use Sprint's EBS for VOD and TV Everywhere as well as fixed broadband they can then sell to their own customers.
