After DISH (DISH) agreed to develop a fixed-mobile broadband service with nTelos (NTLS), Wells Fargo does not believe that DISH is looking to build a network. Rather, the firm thinks that DISH is looking to build a broadband service that is likely to operate on Sprint's (S) spectrum. The firm views the nTelos deal positively as it gives DISH a head start in developing a broadband offering in case it acquires Sprint. The firm keeps an Outperform rating on Sprint. |
