Total Assets$Echostar(SATS.US)Satellite TV business declines: DISH Network has about 9.4 million subscribers, but traditional cable TV users continue to lose due to the impact of streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Sling TV). The Q3 2025 financial report shows limited growth in Sling TV subscribers, making it difficult to offset the decline in core business.
5G network construction stalls: Originally planned to become the "fourth-largest wireless operator" using AWS-4 spectrum, but after the spectrum sale, the 5G business was spun off, and OpenRAN deployment lags behind competitors like T-Mobile and Verizon.
Uncertainty in relying on SpaceX's ecosystem: Although EchoStar acquired SpaceX shares (valued at approximately $8.5 billion) through a deal, the commercialization progress of Starlink (e.g., urban coverage bottlenecks) and synergies with EchoStar remain unverified, posing technology integration risks.
