Dish enters Chapter 11 with a prepackaged plan as EchoStar eyes asset moves

Dish DBS Corp. and Dish Wireless filed for Chapter 11 protection in a prepackaged restructuring tied to a March restructuring support agreement backed by more than 88% of its noteholders and more than $8.7 billion of Dish Wireless debt. The plan will allow orderly disposal of remaining assets and the decommissioning of Dish Wireless, while EchoStar frames it as positioning the business for a stronger future. The move follows EchoStar’s spectrum-license sales to AT&T and SpaceX for about $42 billion after FCC review, with an escrow of $2.4 billion to cover contractor claims. The filing is not expected to affect Boost Mobile and Gen Mobile customers, and cash-interest notes due July 1 will be paid in cash on closing or on the plan’s effective date as delays persist.

Ultrafast holographic 3D printing creates objects in under a second

Researchers at Tsinghua University demonstrated DISH (Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic light fields), a volumetric 3D printing method that projects a holographic light field into resin to solidify objects in 0.6 seconds with 19 μm resolution, bypassing layer-by-layer construction and enabling rapid, high-detail fabrication with potential applications in biomedicine, robotics, and microelectronics.

China unveils ultrafast holographic 3D printing at 0.6 seconds

Researchers at Tsinghua University have introduced Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic light fields (DISH), a holographic-based volumetric 3D printing method that can fabricate millimeter-scale objects in 0.6 seconds with 12‑micrometer precision. By projecting holographic light from multiple angles in a resin, without moving parts or layered drying, the system achieves about 333 cubic millimeters per second and could enable rapid, high-resolution production for biomedicine, nanotechnology, micro-robotics, and flexible electronics.

Major Spectrum Moves Signal Shifts in U.S. Wireless Market

A $23 billion spectrum sale from EchoStar to AT&T has revived speculation about a potential merger between satellite TV giants DirecTV and DISH Network, which could reshape the pay-TV industry amid ongoing cord-cutting trends. The deal provides DISH with liquidity and may facilitate a long-shelved merger, offering synergies and cost savings, though regulatory approval remains uncertain. The move signals a strategic recalibration for EchoStar, which is diversifying into broadband satellite services while navigating financial challenges.

DirecTV Scraps Dish Merger Amid Lender Pushback

DirecTV has terminated its acquisition of satellite TV rival Dish due to Dish bondholders rejecting a debt exchange proposal, which was crucial for the merger. The deal, initially announced in September, aimed to consolidate the shrinking pay TV market by combining DirecTV and Dish's 20 million subscribers. DirecTV CEO Bill Morrow cited the need to protect the company's balance sheet and operational flexibility as reasons for the termination. This marks the second failed merger attempt between the two companies, following a blocked deal in 2002.

Amazon in Talks to Offer Mobile Service to Prime Members with Major Carriers

Shares of Verizon Communications Inc. dropped to a 12-year low after Bloomberg reported that Amazon.com Inc. was in talks with the company and other wireless carriers about offering services, possibly for free, to Prime members. Amazon has been negotiating with Verizon, T-Mobile, Dish, and AT&T for the past six to eight weeks to get the lowest wholesale prices, allowing Amazon to offer its Prime subscribers wireless plans for $10 a month or possibly free. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile shares ranked 1-2-3 on the list of the S&P 500 index’s biggest decliners Friday, while Dish’s stock soared 17.2% to pace the S&P 500’s gainers.
