COVID-19 Possible Hurdle to Dish Meeting Wireless Buildout Deadline, Says CCG

Odds are against Dish Network making the June 2023 deadline for buildout of cellsites covering 70% of the U.S. population, as stipulated in the T-Mobile/Sprint deal terms, due to COVID-19 supply chain issues, blogged CCG Consulting President Doug Dawson Wednesday. The FCC shouldn't fine the company if it meets "some decent percentage" of the plan, he said. Dish didn't comment.
