Dish Network Corp. has officially announced its plans to sell its wireless offering on Amazon.com Inc.’s platform, confirming months of speculation.
Boost Infinite Wireless Plan Now Available on Amazon
Enhanced Convenience for Prime Members
According to Jeremy McCarty, the head of Boost Infinite, “Amazon is the perfect place to offer this Boost Infinite exclusive deal, making it easy for Prime members to purchase our SIM kit online, with an exclusive 20% discount, and activate their postpaid wireless service without setting foot in a store.”
End of Speculation
Reports from Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal had previously hinted at Dish’s intention to make this offering available on Amazon. With the official confirmation, Dish’s move finally puts an end to months of speculation regarding the next strategic step for the telecommunications player.
Potential Impact on Competitors
While Dish’s announcement may have prompted a positive market response with an 8% increase in premarket trading for Dish shares, it remains uncertain whether the trading performance of competitors such as T-Mobile US Inc. and AT&T Inc. is directly related to this news. Nonetheless, Dish’s venture into wireless services has undoubtedly garnered attention within the industry.
