Dish Network has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection primarily due to unforeseen delays in selling $23 billion worth of 5G spectrum to AT&T. Despite the filing, core services like Dish TV, Sling TV, Boost Mobile, and Gen Mobile will continue operating normally, with an expected emergence from bankruptcy by late 2026.
Background
Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to reorganize their debts while continuing operations, often used when strategic deals like spectrum sales face regulatory or logistical hurdles.
