Once the DISH 5G network covers at least 75 % of each economic area within the United States in June 2025 , DISH will have reached its final milestone , mandated by the FCC , to move on to the next phase of its expansion . This next milestone step is mandated for June 2025 ( by the Federal Communications Commission ). “ Frankly , beyond that , we ' ll build things as and when they make financial sense ”, Mayo adds .
The combination of roaming agreements , while building out its own network in key markets nationwide , is a clever , efficient way of operating .
