White & Case advised EchoStar on spectrum license sale transactions with AT&T and SpaceX
The Global Law Firm, White & Case advised EchoStar Corporation on two landmark transactions in the telecommunications sector.

Shortly after, the firm advised EchoStar on its agreement to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses to SpaceX for approximately USD 17 billion plus USD 2 billion of debt service, enabling Boost Mobile subscribers to access Starlink Direct to Cell services.
