OH NO! That is my cell phone company! I would hate to see DISH run this in the ground like they did Blockbuster .
No. A Google - Dish - T Mobile company may bring innovation and competition to the field. Shake things up a bit.

By the way, I don't know where phonearena got their info, but Reuters claims an exclusive here:

Mine too, but I don't expect the same abject failure to execute that we witnessed with BBV.
I think Charlie understands he doesn't now know how to run an enormous cell phone company, and would seek to keep present management. Fingers crossed.
Fully agree... Except, where did you get "Google" from?

Makes sense, if it's true. Dish has wanted to get into the wireless business for quite a while. I mean, it's the main reason they purchased Blockbuster.
Saying Dish ran Blockbuster into the ground is revision history. If anything, it was the opposite. Dish help to extend Blockbuster's lifespan.
This.

I ran across some speculation on this, but can't find it now. All I can find now are comments which may or may not be based on anything:
"T-Mobile+Dish+Google and they might be able to change the wireless landscape. Doubt that will happen because, Dish would most likely want control and Google won't be that stupid.
-----Totally agree. T-Mobile and Google now the game would change dramatically"
"The thing that you guys don't understand is that Google is teaming up with Dish to buy T-Mobile!"
Is there something wrong with the site? I see today's date on all of these posts. Yet, I could swear Dish tried this and failed miserably earlier this this year.
Oh. That was Sprint.
Oh. That was Sprint.
I recently switched to T-Mobile, and I would personally hate for them to become a Dish company.
BTW, I highly recommend T-Mo, if you live in an area with good coverage. Their LTE is WAY faster than Verizon's, at least in my nape of the neck of the woods.

While they didn't run BB into the ground, Dish certainly wasted an excellent opportunity, and completely squandered whatever value the brand had. That much is actual history.
(And, the expression is "revisionist history". "Revision history" would be a list of release notes that tell us what changes were made with each revision of software.)
This is interesting. Dish bidding against the new owner of Sprint (Deutsche Telekom) again for another cell provider. Dish I think will have better odds this time since the government wants four cell providers. I think we are better off having Dish buy it than the cell provider being eliminated. More competition is better.
Also very interesting how Dish is working with Sprint for broadband but may be competing to get T-Mobile. Wonder how that will affect their arrangement they just made. The article stated that Charlie wants to enhance its video offerings rather than in areas such as voice, data and texting services where telecom companies have dominance yet they just partnered with Sprint to offer broadband.

Deutsche Telekom owns T-Mobile, Sprint is owned by Softbank. Dish would be bidding against Softbank again
What excellent opportunity? What brand value? Blockbuster was a dying company when Dish purchased them.
Wow, your verizon results are bad (in comparison). Must be alot of congestion.
In my area, Verizon is easily on top with downloads of 50 plus and uploads of 14-15.
I get similar speeds with my Verizon LTE. As for Dish and Tmobile, I'm not exactly sure what benefit that would give Dish. I understand that they want to own a broadband service for their receivers but I would think they have a good amount of customers who don't live in the cities where Tmobile has native service. Unless they are willing to roam on AT&T and other providers quite a bit this won't do anything for a lot of their customers.
