I stand corrected in that they have turned on their network in Vegas. Apparently they are also doing something with helium (crypto for network coverage) and building out on CBRS spectrum with femtocells.

They are spending money in the Philly suburbs to build out. Just reviewed a lease they offered to get on a client’s tower last week. I thought maybe they needed a video link microwave service or something.  I did not even know they were getting into public cellular service until recently.

So far Dish hasn’t started 5G service and keeps missing deadlines. Makes me wonder exactly what Charlie wants with all of that spectrum?
