Sprint, eh? Weren't they the sole interest to complain about interference with the H block? Ah, yes, here it is later in that article:
Sprint has said a portion of Dish's spectrum should operate with a lower signal power so that it doesn't interfere with the adjacent frequency, called the H block. The H block airwaves are slated to be auctioned off by the government.
I like the partnership of Google and Dish but how long before there is a lawsuit between the 2 knowing dish track records with lawsuits....A Dish and Sprint partnership would be interesting after Spring buying U.S Cellular and trying to but Metro PCS
