01. Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events . We previously disclosed on May 13, 2025 that on May 9, 2025, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") sent a letter to EchoStar Corporation ("EchoStar") informing us that the FCC had begun a review of EchoStar's compliance with certain of its federal obligations to provide 5G service in the United States (the "May 9 Letter"). The May 9 Letter also raised certain questions regarding our September 2024 buildout extension and MSS utilization in the 2GHz band. On September 8, 2025, the Chairman of the FCC sent a follow-up letter (the "September 8 Letter") to EchoStar informing us that he has directed the staff of the FCC to terminate the agency's investigation of EchoStar as set forth in the May 9 Letter. While this resolves the FCC inquiries commenced in the May 9 Letter, our previously announced transactions with AT&T and SpaceX continue to remain subject to FCC approval (and the other previously announced conditions to closing of those transactions). A copy of the September 8 Letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
