FCC Review Puts EchoStar's 5G Compliance and Spectrum Rights Under Scrutiny
EchoStar Corporation has announced a regulatory review initiated by the Federal Communications Commission $(FCC.AU)$ concerning its compliance with federal obligations to provide 5G service in the U.S. The FCC is examining EchoStar's September 2024 buildout extension and its use of the 2 GHz band for mobile-satellite service $(MSS)$. This review has introduced uncertainty over EchoStar's spectrum rights, potentially impacting its 5G network development. In response, EchoStar has filed comments urging the FCC to deny a petition for reconsideration that could reverse previous grants of authority. EchoStar argues that any disruption could jeopardize its role as a wireless provider and affect the video and satellite services relied upon by millions of consumers. The company has disclosed having 1.3 million subscribers and recently adding 88,000 wireless subscribers in April.
