Dish Wireless Bankruptcy Case on Two-Week Pause for Negotiations
Dish submitted a new bankruptcy plan aimed at addressing tower companies’ objections
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2026 – A bankruptcy judge agreed Monday to pause Dish Wireless’s bankruptcy case for two weeks to give the company time to negotiate with former business partners that have opposed its plan.
That came after Dish Wireless and Dish DBS, EchoStar subsidiaries that had filed for bankruptcy together in June, formally split their bankruptcy cases. The Dish DBS process was much less contentious.
