• About the company

  Our adventure began by changing the way people watched TV, bringing DISH to where big cable wouldn’t: rural America. Since then, we have reinvented ourselves and our own industry with SLING TV to give millions of consumers more choice in entertainment. Today, we’ve officially entered the consumer wireless industry as the fourth largest wireless provider with our acquisitions of Boost Mobile, Ting Mobile and Republic Wireless — but that’s just the start. We’re building America’s first cloud-native 5G network to transform the way we live, work and play with unlimited possibilities.
