DISH Network Corp affiliates will surrender some airwaves licences won at an auction after the Federal Communications Commission denied them a US$3.3 billion small-business discount, complicating co-founder Charlie Ergen's plans to stockpile frequencies and enter the wireless business.
The two entities - SNR Wireless LicenseCo LLC and Northstar Wireless LLC - will retain a combined 505 licences valued at almost US$10 billion, and pay a US$413 million penalty for 197 licences they'll give up, according to filings released on Thursday by the FCC. Dish confirmed the decisions in a separate statement.
