More wireless competition?

In order to provide customers with the best possible networks, cellular giants like Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint focus on acquiring spectrum licenses to expand their network. A recent auction of almost 1,100 of these licenses that took place in Colorado has resulted in helping what may become a new national network: Frontier Wireless, a subset of EchoStar, which until recently also owned DISH Network, spent $711.8 million to acquire spectrum licenses in almost 200 cities nationwide, which puts them in the running to potentially enter into competition with the current front-runners. Because they owned DISH Network, I feel as though the company may have enough clout to really get some attention. I'll be waiting to hear what comes out of this, it could be interesting... I'm just sad they don't own DISH anymore, that could really have worked to their advantage.
