Dish Network Corp. and two partners were denied $3.3 billion in small-business discounts for airwaves by the Federal Communications Commission.
The commission unanimously voted Monday that the two small companies, SNR Wireless LicenseCo LLC and Northstar Wireless LLC, aren’t eligible for the program. The FCC earlier said it had concluded the companies are controlled by Dish, which funded them.
