Dish accuses Sprint of glossing over spectrum issues

Dish Network and Sprint Nextel continue to spar over proposals to shift Dish's MSS S-band spectrum by 5 MHz, with Dish accusing Sprint of glossing over critical issues related to its spectrum and LTE deployment plans. In a filing with the Federal Communications Commission, Dish blasted a previous Sprint filing, arguing that "Sprint's silence on the key timing and interference issues related to any changes to the AWS-4 band plan underscores that there is no public policy benefit to Sprint's self-serving proposals."
