Charlie Ergen’s network companies are now officially one entity again, with EchoStar having completed its merger with Dish Network.
The all-stock transaction was completed on December 31, via the mechanism of a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar merging with Dish Network. The Dish Network brand survives, however, and is operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar.
EchoStar also continues to maintain its other brands for wireless terrestrial and satellite services, including Boost Mobile, Boost Infinite, Sling TV and Dish TV, as well as the EchoStar, Hughes and Jupiter satellite services, HughesON managed services and HughesNet satellite internet.
The combined company’s headquarters remains in Englewood, Colorado.
EchoStar said in a release that the merger means that it is “uniquely positioned to deliver a broad set of communication and content distribution capabilities, accelerating the delivery of satellite and wireless connectivity solutions desired by customers.”
