Dish is acquiring Republic Wireless and its 200,000 customer relationships. This will help grow Dish's customer base beyond Boost customers. Both Republic and Boost use T-Mobile's network, but Dish is working toward building its own 5G network from scratch. The deal is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021. "Once acquired by DISH, Republic customers will not see any immediate changes to their experience or plans, and there is no need for customers to take action."

Dish also acquired Ting previously
Curious if there are any other properties they've acquired, as it isn't just Boost, and Republic but also Ting they already own.
I have one line with Republic from the start. TMobile has been really good. I hope this all works out, I would love to switch other lines over. I hope their 5G is nothing like the ROCK that Verizon has been.
I have Dish TV, I wish them much success. We are desperate for some honest players.
