95,000 broadband users tell the FCC not to fall for the Ergen ploy for the third time.
Dish succeeded to get the FCC to change spectrum rules in its favor before, so it’s understandable that it would try again. In 2013, it convinced the FCC to change the nature of its license in the AWS-4 band from satellite to terrestrial broadband, effectively gaining market entry and 40 MHz of valuable mid-band spectrum through an administrative order.
Another infamous DISH episode appeared during the AWS-3 in 2015 auction in which the publicly-traded DISH registered a daughter company as a small business so that it could bid for frequencies with a 25 percent discount. Thisof an FCC loophole allowed DISH pay $7.8 billion instead of $13 billion in what amounted to a $40 billion auction. DISH is still sitting on those licenses today without building a network.
Other companies in the 5G for 12 GHz Coalition are nearly as problematic as DISH. One group, RS Access, offers no telecom services and consists of a single employee. RS Access is backed by billionaire Michael Dell who deployed a similar strategy in Auction 1001 in 2016. In that auction, Dell’s personal trust fund acquired low-value television stations for $90 million in advance of an FCC spectrum auction.
