Dish’s Surprise 700MHz Win Means What? [700mhz]
Dish Networks, sat TV provider, has won a block of the 700MHz band in the FCC’s recent auction. Given Dish’s primary business is television from the heavens, one has to wonder what they’re up to. At first, I thought internet, as DirecTV has. But the analysts say that the tiny corner of the band that Dish bought is actually not suitable for 2-way communication, and is better for broadcast. Maybe they’re planning to pipe their channels over the airwaves. That could be useful in portables. [Yahoo]
