INCOMPAS Offers Support for EchoStar’s 5G Buildout Extension

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2024 – A broadband trade organization is supporting EchoStar’s extended deadline, granted by federal regulators, to roll out a new 5G wireless network.

INCOMPAS, a broadband trade organization based here, voiced its support for EchoStar’s deadline extension for building out 5G mobile infrastructure in a Thursday letter to the Federal Communications Commission. 

“The extensions will benefit consumers by preserving and enhancing competition in the mobile broadband marketplace,” INCOMPAS President Angie Kronenberg said. “Promoting and enabling a fourth nationwide provider is critical to enhancing competition in a concentrated mobile market.”
