Dish is launching new Boost Infinite markets every week

Dish Network says it is progressing with its Boost Infinite postpaid service but company executives stopped short of saying when it will launch commercially nationwide. Instead, John Swieringa, president and COO of Dish Wireless,said that Dish's 5G network is currently live in 12 markets covering 30 million POPs offering both 5G data and voice services using voice over new radio (VoNR). Across all Dish sites, Dish's 5G network is providing 5G broadband services but Swieringa said that the company is launching new markets with both 5G data and VoNR every week. VoNR remains a “technical challenge,” said Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen, adding he expects a six month (or less) lag from the time Dish gets its 5G network transmitting broadband data to when it can optimize it for 5G voice, or VoNR.
