Dish tells FCC its Sprint buyout is ‘better for national security’

It appears that when Dish wants something it doesn’t give up.

After making a surprise bid of $25.5 billion to acquire Sprint on Monday — which would snatch the mobile provider from the hands of Japan’s SoftBank — Dish submitted a filing to the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday claiming a SoftBank acquisition of Sprint wouldn’t be good for U.S. national security.
