With both Google and Vofone starting new MVNO under T-Mobile this year, a partnership with Dish's unused Spectrum could really plug a lot of holes in TMO's network. Dish is the 5th largest Spectrum holder in the USA but hasn't used this spectrum to this point. Dish MUST start deploying at least 40% of their Spectrum by 2016 or they will have to return some of their spectrum to the FCC. Dish Networks owns spectrum but doesn't have the money to deploy cell towers. Dish is looking for a outlet for their Dish TV video so they could could stream video to mobile devices and to building without a satellites connections. Dish wants to partner with a Wireless Telco provider that has the wireless tower equipment. Both, AT&T and Verizon both offer TV/Video competition to Dish Networks TV.
