    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    You seem be assuming that the only way to subscribe to Boost is in person at a Boost store. Boost is also available at Walmart and Target stores, and they do have an online presence that's currently offering a $10/mo deal for the first two months and $25 after that for unlimited everything.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    I turn our TV on and either scroll through Firestick's combined app listings to find something to watch or press a button and ask it to go to what I know I want to watch.

    Differ all you want... Not a single mention of a sighting in that article. I stand by my post, far more sightings in the south than in the north. Bigfoot's not stupid, he knows enough to stay where the weather is warmer instead of experiencing our northern winters. ;)

    The nearest Boost store to me other than Walmart and Target, is on a section of state highway in Johnstown, NY where there's a couple of shopping centers and a number of other mid level stores and restaurants. It's far from the "hood", if such a thing exists here.

    Companies have been profiting off FCC radio and TV licenses for many years. Is this really any different?

    It appreciated, but is it "sitting on the spectrum" when the plan was to use it as part of the 5G build out? Yes, there's limited bandwidth for everything. No, the FCC took the spectrum from TV, not Echostar/Dish Or just a good business move given the circumstances.

    How things have changed

    I wonder how they count our viewing on our Roku TV using a Firestick... :)
