Dish Network Corp., the second-largest U.S. satellite-television provider, filed for U.S. government permission to offer mobile high-speed Internet service to millions of consumers.
The company asked for clearance of its acquisitions of assets of DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. and for license waivers, according to a filing dated yesterday with the Federal Communications Commission. Those actions by the government would allow Dish to build the network, it said.
