# EchoStar to Sell Spectrum Licenses to AT&T for $23 Billion, Forms Hybrid MNO Agreement

> EchoStar Corporation has reached a $23 billion agreement to sell its 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz spectrum licenses to AT&T. This deal will enhance AT&T's service capabilities and includes a hybrid MNO relationship for Boost Mobile. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce debt and support growth initiatives. The transaction is pending regulatory approval and will not affect EchoStar's other operations, including DISH TV and Sling.

EchoStar Corporation has announced a definitive agreement with AT&T to sell its 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz spectrum licenses for approximately $23 billion. This transaction will allow AT&T to rapidly deploy the purchased spectrum across the U.S., benefiting both its customers and Boost Mobile subscribers. The agreement also includes a hybrid mobile network operator (MNO) relationship that will enable Boost Mobile to offer connectivity through its cloud-native 5G core and AT&T’s cell sites. EchoStar’s CEO, Hamid Akhavan, stated that the proceeds will be used to retire certain debts and support the company’s growth initiatives. The transaction awaits regulatory approval, with no impact anticipated on EchoStar’s other operations such as DISH TV, Sling, and Hughes.
