NEW YORK — Dish Network Corp. in recent weeks has been pressing the Federal Communications Commission to bring AT&T Inc. before a judge over its proposed $39 billion buyout of Deutsche Telekom AG’s T-Mobile USA unit.
“Timing is critical, and delay only benefits AT&T,” Douglas County-based Dish said in a letter to the FCC, summarizing a meeting Wednesday with the staff of Commissioner Mignon Clyburn.
Dish said a protracted merger approval process threatened to delay the company’s efforts to build a wireless network. Dish is seeking FCC approval to use airwaves reserved for satellites for a terrestrial wireless network.
