Facts are irrelevant I guess. Since when is Dish buying T-Mobile?
Well Dish is buying T-Mobile which is why they have to give T-Mobile a percentage of revenue generated across T-Mobile’s infrastructure.

Wait a sec...

All Dish is buying is select T-Mobile/Sprint assets including MVNO service Boost. Dish will have access to the T-Mobile network for a period of years while they build out their own network.

It took years for DISH to get to this. Rumors after rumors proved false or led to nothing. It looked like DISH could lose it's chance. But I go way back to repeat what I said about many problems DISH has faced. Don't underestimate Charlie.

And Charlie pulls another rabbit out of the hat! :biggrin
Yeah I wouldn't say he pulled it out of his hat. More like some where lower on the posterior anatomy. Charlie just got lucky that T-mobile / Sprint needed to unload the Boost assets and some other assets to get their merger approved by the government. It also didn't hurt that Charlie had all that bandwith he wasn't using, that made it attractive for a 4th cell phone carrier to use.

Charlie seems to make his own luck.

At a certain point, you have to stop saying he “got lucky”, and admit the man has an insight for business acumen.
