WASHINGTON, June 1, 2026 – Echostar is aiming to sell the rest of its terrestrial wireless licenses by September 2028, the company told federal regulators.

If the company can’t sell them for fair value by Sept. 1, 2028, it would hold a private auction by March 1, 2029, EchoStar said in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission Friday.
