AT&T and DISH Announce Internet Distribution Agreement

AT&T and DISH have entered into a distribution agreement that will allow DISH to offer AT&T Internet services, including AT&T Fiber with Hyper-Gig speeds, to prospective, new and existing DISH customers starting May 18, 2022. Telecompetitor reports that the DISH deal is for AT&T home internet services, including AT&T Fiber. It does not include AT&T wireless services. The two companies already have a network services agreement for wireless, with AT&T providing wireless network service to DISH’s growing wireless business. AT&T recently shed off all of its TV business and is now back to concentrating on communications services. Fiber broadband is key to the company’s future, so having a reseller relationship like DISH with a national reach could be helpful with its fiber business goals. DISH already resells internet from other providers and markets a TV and internet bundle. This AT&T agreement should expand that reach.
