[Commentary] The time finally may be right for a tie-up between Dish and T-Mobile. While T-Mobile’s momentum is impressive, it will need much more spectrum to continue to expand its nationwide LTE network.

Dish has been planning to use its AWS-4 spectrum as well as its coveted 700 MHz airwaves to deploy LTE services, and both companies plan to participate in the Federal Communications Commission’s auction of low-band spectrum slated for 2015.

Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen said it would be a “personal failure” if his company failed to get into the wireless market. He should move now to pick up T-Mobile to take on AT&T and Verizon at next year’s auction.
