Metro manila stricter quarantine

Dish Network’s agreement to build a new national wireless network has the potential to bring thousands of jobs to metro Denver and restore the region’s faded status as a telecommunications hub. As a condition of approving T-Mobile’s $26.5 billion acquisition of Sprint , the Nos. 3 and 4 wireless carriers in the United States, the Department of Justice demanded a new national wireless carrier be formed to address anti-trust concerns and preserve competition. Dish Network, which was sitting on $21 billion worth of wireless spectrum, was in a rare position to take on the challenge. Dish, based in Douglas County, will pay $1.4 billion to acquire Sprint’s three prepaid brands and their 9.3 million customers.
