On one hand, if Dish were to partner with Sprint, they would get to making money off their spectrum pretty fast by basically just renting out their spectrum for use on Sprint. On the other hand, partnering with Google would result in a slower gains realization.
That said, I'm not an expert, but intuitively, I'd think that if partnering with Sprint, Dish will make a smaller percentage than if they partnered with Google, not to mention how absolute cutting-edge their network would be, which would be great for everyone.
Go Dish! Team Google! (who wants to make T-shirts?)

Define "small". Got examples of carriers you think qualify as being one that Dish could buy?

You can already get one. It's called a Nexus 4. I actually plan on upgrading to it soon.
If it runs Windows Mobile, we know that YOU will tell us about it !I wonder if they will come out with the new "Dish Phone" or even better the New "Charlie Phone".
I think they need to go with a bee theme,they communicate pretty good wireless.The black jacket,the wasp.lol
Why? If I like the product, I'll buy and/or subscribe. If they want me to advertise for them, they can pay me.
Yet, they continue to have Samsung, LG, and Asus manufacture their Nexus-branded products.
The big issue with Phone manufacturing is that they have to create multiple versions of the same phone to work on all the proprietary networks. Thats the reason Nexus 4 only words on GSM .. it's an easily accessed network.
Verizon uses two networks at the same time on any of the 4G phones.. CDMA for Voice and 3G and LTE for 4G.
Google made a decision to skip Big Red because Verizon is the very expensive, very proprietary Frankenstein of the industry.
GSM stands for "Global System for Mobile" .. it's the most widely used system in the world... so it's a lot less expensive for Google to develop phones for the majority of the world and pay someone else to develop phones that run their OPEN SOURCE OS to push their product in those more challenging micro-environments.
