The American telecommunications behemoth, AT&T, has unveiled plans to acquire specific wireless spectrum licenses held by EchoStar Corporation for a cash consideration of approximately $23 billion. This strategic move is intended to bolster AT&T's infrastructure footprint within the communications sector. The agreement coincides with an ongoing Federal Communications Commission (FCC) inquiry into EchoStar's failure to establish a nationwide 5G network as mandated. Upon the successful conclusion of the transaction, anticipated by mid-2026, AT&T will secure access to spectrum resources spanning over 400 markets throughout the United States.
