    October 10, 2019 Scott Scheele, Esq. Chief, Telecommunications and Broadband Section Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 7000 Washington, DC 20530 Re: United States v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02232-TJK TUNNEY ACT COMMENTS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WORKERS OF AMERICA Introduction. The proposed Final Judgment (“PFJ”) violates a number of clearly articulated Antitrust Division policies on merger remedies. These policies, incorporated in current policy guidance documents and in speeches by Division officials, are aimed at ensuring that antitrust remedies are appropriate, effective and principled. The remedy here satisfies none of these goals. The Division has not articulated any reasons, let alone principled reasons, why it has turned its back on its own merger remedy policies in this case, many of which are long-standing and represent sound antitrust enforcement. The Division has recently and successfully asserted a number of its merger remedy policies in litigated cases as a basis for rejecting proposed fixes to anticompetitive mergers, including one in which the proposed divestiture package did not include the network necessary for the buyer successfully to compete. That has particular relevance here. Judged from the standpoint of the competitive harm alleged in the Complaint, the divestiture assets do not restore the competition lost by the elimination of Sprint as an independent competitor under the theories of harm alleged in the complaint and in the product market alleged in the complaint. The divestitures create a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”), but the theories of harm and market definition treat competition from MVNOs as de minimis.

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. _______________________ CITY OF DAYTONA BEACH POLICE OFFICERS’ AND FIREFIGHTERS’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant DISH NETWORK CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. CHARLES W. ERGEN, JOSEPH P. CLAYTON, JAMES DEFRANCO, CANTEY M. ERGEN, STEVEN R. GOODBARN, DAVID K. MOSKOWITZ, TOM A. ORTOLF, and CARL E. VOGEL, Defendants, and DISH NETWORK CORPORATION, Nominal Defendant. VERIFIEDDEADLINE.com SHAREHOLDER DERIVATIVE COMPLAINT Plaintiff City of Daytona Beach Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Retirement System (“City of Daytona” or “Plaintiff”) brings the following Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint (the “Complaint”), for the benefit of nominal defendant DISH Network Corporation (“Dish” or the “Company”), against the Company’s founder, chairman, and controlling shareholder Charles W. Ergen (“Ergen”) and the members of the board of directors of Dish (the “Board”). The allegations of the Complaint are based on the knowledge of Plaintiff as to itself, and on information and belief, including the investigation of counsel and review of publicly available information, as to all other matters. INTRODUCTION 1. This action arises from the complete failure of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to withstand the domineering influence of Dish’s controlling shareholder Ergen. Dish is a satellite TV provider that recently has spent billions of dollars to expand its business by acquiring wireless spectrum licenses. In April 2013, Ergen completed the purchase of more than $1 billion of debt of a bankrupt company, LightSquared, L.P. (“LightSquared”), which owns such spectrum licenses. In May, 2013, Ergen launched a personal $2 billion bid for LightSquared’s spectrum assets – a bid that directly competed with Dish’s clear interests in bidding for these same assets.

  • Echostar V Satellite Successfully Launched; Echostar's Fifth Satellite Enables DISH Network to Offer 500 Channels of Satellite Television to Single Dish
    EchoStar V Satellite Successfully Launched; EchoStar's Fifth Satellite Enables DISH Network To Offer 500 Channels of Satellite Television To Single Dish Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1999-- EchoStar Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:DISH) (Nasdaq:DISHP) announced today that its EchoStar V satellite was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., early this morning. The satellite was put into geosynchronous transfer orbit after a 2:02 a.m. EDT liftoff by a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle, designated AC-155 for the EchoStar V mission. The launch was originally scheduled for Sept. 10 but was delayed by Hurricane Floyd and Tropical Storm Harvey. "EchoStar is pleased to report a successful launch of our fifth satellite that will serve DISH Network satellite television customers," said Charlie Ergen, CEO and chairman of EchoStar. "The historical launch of EchoStar V will enable DISH Network to become the first in the nation to offer 500 channels on a single small dish, including local network channels, high definition television and interactive TV services." "EchoStar V is especially important to consumers because it will allow EchoStar to offer local network channels via satellite to more than 60 percent of the U.S. population," Ergen added. "However, this effort hinges on important satellite legislation that Congress should finalize in the next few weeks. Without legislation that bolsters competition and protects the rights of consumers to receive local channels by satellite, consumers will continue to be throttled by the rising costs and poor customer service of cable television." EchoStar V was built by Space Systems/Loral of Palo Alto, Calif., based on its FS 1300 design.

Since first arriving in Christiansburg in March of this year to begin the process of hiring and training new employees at a temporary facility, EchoStar has created 850 new jobs for Virginians and plans to employ a total of 1,500. The 100,000-square-foot service center, located in Montgomery County, will focus on handling inquiries from potential customers and answering technical questions from the growing number of DISH Network satellite TV subscribers.

DISH Network is the fastest-growing direct broadcast satellite television provider in the United States and is the first television provider to offer 500 channels. Headquartered in Littleton, Colo., EchoStar's DISH Network has over 10,000 employees worldwide. "Our newest sales and technical support service center in Montgomery County is a shining example of how a technically trained workforce can meet the needs of a growing telecommunications company like EchoStar," said Soraya Hesabi-Cartwright, executive vice president of DISH Network.
