Dish Network chairman Charlie Ergen said the satellite giant is not looking to buy additional wireless spectrum as it awaits Federal Communications Commission approval for transfer of the spectrum it already owns.
Ergen said that he believes he has enough spectrum to either build out its own network or partner with another provider. Dish has about 45 Megahertz of spectrum, 40MHz of that purchased in deals valued at about $3 billion. The company is currently awaiting FCC approval to have the licenses transferred for its use.
