    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Why in the world they haven't paired Sling with Boost is beyond my understanding. That seemed like a no-brainer.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I was referring to the Trump Mobile plan. I've been on Boost for a few years now. Very happy with Boost. Just wish Dish/Echostar would advertise it better.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I thought selling the spectrum was not allowed. The auctions weren't done to create middle men. This is surreal. There is likely no legal viability to the FCC interfering like this with Echostar. If Echostar are hitting their targets, they are meeting their obligations. And they met these...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    The $350 phone for $500 will be made in America... at least it could, in theory... down the road... at some point. And at $47.45 a month for $25 a month service, people will swarm for this deal. as it will provide better service to under serviced people... as a MVNO service (ie on other...

    EchoStar Soars 43% As Trump Urges FCC To Settle Dispute

    So shares went up when White House meddles in FCC's meddling instigated by those in the White House? Not certain why it went up. The allegation was POTUS said Ergen should 'make a deal'... IE give up a portion of access to something he purchased.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    They are selling a $400 phone (specs are real close to Samsung A36) that you can likely get a good deal on... for $500.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Well... I probably would guess it isn't a "new" phone, but just a new branding of an existing phone.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    That is some hefty back up for Echostar. Even if the FCC finds in favor of Musk... I mean SpaceX, Echostar should have an easy case in the courts. They bought. Unless there is a specific usage threshold by a particular date, there would be no justification for the illegal seizing of the...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Someone else pulled the strings to even have the FCC "investigate" this. That someone's star is now in declination, though they are trying to regain favor after their online teenaged maturity spat on social media.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    As long as you can stomach the prescription, supplemental life insurance, you may be entitled to compensation, let's tell you about the scam called annuities, etc... ads. OTA can provide a huge amount of options, but the ads on some of these things can be brutal. As far as internet, my parents...

    Boost service working or better efforts to monetize the Boost brand?

    Has Dish nixed offers?

    Still nothing on my side. That said, I paid $0.38 to get FS2 for the complete Indy 500 practice/qualifying coverage one weekend. I still can't believe that is a thing!

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    It was a convergence of multiple things. People didn't want to pay for channels they didn't want... advertisers didn't want to pay as much for commercials that could be zipped past with a DVR...among other thing. Dish is profitable still, but it's holding company isn't. That company is drowning...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Maybe as good as values, but I've been paying $25 a month for unlimited with Boost, and was able to add-on $5 or $10 monthly fee when in Canada to have access north of the border (obviously not on Boost's network). Now all the other companies offer similar programs as Boost. Boost isn't a...

    Has Dish nixed offers?

    I just checked, and I'm still blank. Glad to hear it isn't blank for others. I have taken full advantage of the previous offers.

    DISH gives DIRECTV the Bird...

    Dish (I guess Echostar) sucks at marketing. Dish Network, Sling, and Boost suffer from this.

    Has Dish nixed offers?

    I have noticed the offers are blank right now under my programming. Maybe it is because I haven't paid for Showtime for 6 or so months because they keep offering it for free, or I'm on and off a lot with the Movie Pack at half off. However, I'm surprised the rest of the Flex pack offers are gone...

    Time to Lock In the Savings! Well...

    Jebus Dish! Wait! Lock into a 2-year pricing... and have a $240 early termination fee? First 10 or so months, I'm not saving a dime! I'm glad the advertisement is up front with the termination fee, but Dish isn't exactly doing me any favors for about a year, and then I'll be saving $3 to $5 a...

    Will Dish loose spectrum?

    I'd say the lines are a bit blurry, but they are doing something, else they wouldn't have the spectrum any more. link I've never been impressed with Dish advertising. They need to seriously pick up the pace on getting people to sign up. Overall, the 5G revolution has been a bust, but it is...

    Will Dish loose spectrum?

    Someone is using their influence to push this. Dish/Echostar is required to push out 5G in a certain amount of time. They've reached most of those milestones.

    Repairing an EHD

    Sounds like something on the initial partition is the issue. Hard drive could be hunky dory, but an important file that H3 handshakes with might have become corrupted.

    EchoStar Announces Financial Results

    The Wireless bottom line looks to be about the same as last year. $3.6 billion or so. That number needs to be going up. Sounds like churn decreased. The most important stat says $4.6 billion cash on hands at the moment. So one or two years to make Boost boost its revenue.
