DISH quick hit: milestones met

Blair published a note this morning on Dish’s progress against FCC milestones. Dish also put out a statement. Dish announced that they had met all their 2023 FCC obligations back in June. Investors have frequently asked whether we would ever get confirmation from the FCC. Blair’s note points out that the FCC has confirmed compliance on two of three requirements, and they have agreed to a testing methodology on the third (drive testing). Blair argues that it is highly likely that the testing will confirm they are compliant on the third item also.

Chapter 11 and Spectrum Values – Questions We Didn’t Get To

We hosted a call on Monday that covered our analysis of the impact of the FCC inquiries on spectrum values, and how this could change if the Company files for Chapter 11 protection. We hosted the call with Jeff Carlisle who is perhaps the leading expert on matters that sit at the intersection of telecom policy and bankruptcy. We got more questions than we could answer in the time we had, and so we covered the questions we didn’t get to in this note.

DBS also misses interest payment

Today EchoStar filed an 8-K announcing that they would not make a scheduled interest payment on DBS secured and unsecured bonds. As with the skipped interest payment at EchoStar, this triggers a 30-day grace period after which DBS will be in default. A default at DBS would also trigger a default at Dish Network Corp., based on cross-default protections in Dish Network Corp. bonds. Our quick thoughts in this (very) brief note.
