Although it's still early days, things aren't looking incredibly encouraging for Dish's 5G rollout timeline after a "major market" launch delay until Q3 2021.

Verizon added more subscribers to its industry-leading list of names in the states by agreeing to purchase Bluegrass Cellular for an undisclosed price. Bluegrass has 210,000 subscribers in 34 rural counties.

After adding U.S. Cellular to its portfolio, the Finnish company announced earlier today that it has been chosen by Dish to build its 5G network.

T-Mobile is the unrivaled early leader of the US 5G wireless industry, but Verizon is moving one step closer to eventually challenging that supremacy with a growing mid-band library.

Even though Dish has yet to start "materially" building its standalone 5G network, the company continues to make big (and vague) promises regarding its wireless ambitions.

Have you recently noticed a decline in 4G LTE speeds on T-Mobile? It's not just you, but for what it's worth, Dish is likely to join forces with Magenta again to boost both 4G and 5G speeds soon.

Verizon has announced its somewhat vague plans for "full commercialization" of a 5G standalone core service in 2021 after T-Mobile already touted a similar launch for "later this year."

After years and years of hoarding wireless spectrum with no apparent intention of using it, Dish wants to spend an extra $3.6 billion on even more 5G spectrum currently owned by T-Mobile.

All Android smartphones available at the now Dish-owned Boost Mobile prepaid operator are on sale at 20 percent off their already reduced prices for the entire 4th of July weekend.

Dish will revive the $hrink-It! plan, which starts at $45 for 15GB, and launch a new $35 10GB plan on July 2.

T-Mobile announced today that it has closed the deal with Dish for the sale of Sprint's prepaid business, Boost Mobile.

SoftBank is selling up to 198 million T-Mobile shares in an effort to help make up for some rather poor investments it made this year in companies like WeWork and Uber.

Dish Network will close on its deal with T-Mobile to purchase Boost Mobile on July 1st according to SEC filings. This will cost Dish $1.4 billion and it will pay $3.6 billion for 14MHz of 800MHz spectrum.

Dish might need to close its Boost Mobile acquisition as badly as T-Mobile does to retain its long-term 5G rollout prospects, which probably means the delayed deal will be completed very soon.

While Dish Founder and Chairman Charlie Ergen is trying to renegotiate his company's previously agreed on Boost acquisition, T-Mobile is reportedly talking with potential alternative buyers.

Why hasn't Dish still closed the Boost Mobile/Virgin acquisition deal? It's complicated...

Many analysts that were previously skeptical about Dish's plans to launch a nationwide 5G wireless network by 2023 are starting to take the company seriously.

T-Mobile and Dish are not as friendly as they might seem at first glance, squabbling over an extension of a recent spectrum loan before eventually having to expand their collaboration in the near future.

A report published today indicates that SoftBank plans on selling a large chunk of its T-Mobile holdings to Deutsche Telekom. The latter already owns more than 43% of the third largest carrier in the states.

While Verizon is watching both Dish and New T-Mobile "very closely", the nation's largest wireless service provider remains confident its 5G strategy is the right one to help it retain that position.
