We appreciate the FCC’s approval of our transaction with EchoStar, which helps make more mid‑band and low‑band spectrum available to meet our customers’ growing demand for wireless connectivity. We’ve already deployed the mid‑band spectrum at record speed, delivering added capacity and stronger performance for our customers. We look forward to closing the transaction, deploying the low‑band spectrum, and continuing to invest in a network that keeps people and communities connected.
