The 139,000 subscribers are included in DISH’s ending Wireless subscriber count and excluded from DISH’s gross new Wireless subscriber activations. In addition, during the second quarter of 2022, DISH removed approximately 126,000 subscribers from its ending Wireless subscriber count representing wireless subscribers who did not migrate off T-Mobile’s CDMA Network prior to the shutdown. The effect of the removal of the 126,000 subscribers was excluded from the calculation of DISH’s net Wireless subscriber additions/losses and Wireless churn rate. |
