Dish Seeks 11-Year Extension on EchoStar 10 License

Since EchoStar 10 seemingly has another 11 years of operational life, Dish Network is seeking to extend the license term for the satellite until April 10, 2027. In an FCC International Bureau filing Friday, Dish said it seeks a license modification because the current license expires April 10, but the satellite's fuel consumption and estimated end of life would justify the extension.
