Dish?s wireless plans could be derailed by FCC rules.Dish Network said Tuesday a proposed order from the Federal Communications Commission that would set restrictions on how the satellite-TV provider uses its spectrum could derail the company?s plans to enter the wireless business.
Stanton Dodge, Dish?s executive vice president and general counsel, said the order is ?significantly flawed.?
?While the FCC would grant full terrestrial rights, its proposal to lower our power and emissions levels could cripple our ability to enter the business,? he said in a statement.
?The good news is that this proposed order is not final and we urge Chairman Genachowski and the Commissioners to recognize that the Dish plan delivers on the greatest public interest ? the most investment, the most jobs and the most spectrum,? Dodge said.
Douglas County-based Dish says the draft order appears to back a proposal advanced by Sprint calling on Dish to disable 25 percent of its uplink spectrum and impair another 25 percent of that spectrum to accommodate possible future use of neighboring H Block spectrum by Sprint.
Sprint said Tuesday it is ?pleased? that the FCC is moving forward with the rulemaking.
?We remain hopeful that the Commissioners will decide to support Dish?s plans to build a new wireless network, while taking the steps necessary to protect Sprint?s PCS spectrum holdings and other adjacent 2 GHz terrestrial spectrum, and welcome the Commission?s plans to auction the adjacent spectrum,? the company said in a statement.
The proposed FCC order would allow Dish to use the spectrum for a terrestrial-only wireless service, eliminating a satellite requirement that the company has said would make it prohibitively expensive for it to enter the market.
