Dish Network had reportedly been
considered a potential candidate to receive divested T-Mobile assets from AT&T if it couldn't secure initial approval of its acquisition from the government. Dish, however, has publicly opposed the acquisition -- and now it's clear that t
here were some ulterior motives in wanting to see the merger fall through, because Bloomberg reported
this morning that the satellite provider wants to merge its spectrum assets with T-Mobile if things don't go so rosy in the acquisition. According to CEO Joseph Clayton:
We want to... create a national wireless network, video, voice and data. We've got expertise in satellite TV, and we will in satellite broadband. The voice part, we'll need some help with.
A partnership with T-Mobile would ideally help both companies: it would help Dish get one step closer to its goal of a
wireless network that bundles smartphones, tablets and satellite under the same umbrella, and would cast a bright light on T-Mobile's questionable future. How does "
Ollo" with LTE-Advanced on Magenta sound?
