Spectrum Valuation ($SATS) - Part 5

Part 5 of a multi-part series on the economics of spectrum and EchoStar’s spectrum portfolio

Part 1, 2, 3 and 4 are here.

Today we will focus on Sir Bid-A-Lot’s soon-to-be classic hit: EchoStar Got Block

Intro:
“Oh my God, Becky, look at her block!
It is so big. She looks like one of those EchoStar assets.
But who even uses that spectrum?
They only talk to her because she looks like a total OnlyBands girl, okay?
I mean, her block. It’s just so… big.
I can’t believe it’s still undeployed. It’s like, just sitting there!
I mean—ugh, gross.
Look! She’s just so... thicc.”

Sir Bid-A-Lot:
“I like big blocks and I cannot lie,
You other bidders can’t deny,
When EchoStar walks in with a itty bitty sub
And a thicc band in your face,
You get sprung!”

Wanna pull up tough,
Cause you noticed that band is stuffed.
Deep in the comments she’s filing’,
I’m hooked, I can’t stop bidding.

Ooh baby I wanna deploy wit’cha,
and let the signals hit’cha,
My network tried to warn me,
But that block you got makes me so thirsty.

(AWS-4: me me me me soo thirsty)

Ooh, blocks of double downlink,
You say you wanna get in my plans,
Well, use me, use me
Cause you ain’t that average MHz

I’ve seen her propagating,
To hell with harmonizing,
She’s clappin’, 3GPP approved
Got it going on like Band 66

I’m tired of Telco magazines,
Saying C-band is the thing,
Take the average bidder ask him that,
She gotta pack much block

So fellas (yeah), fellas (yeah)
Has your network got the block (hell yeah)
Tell them to deploy it (deploy it), deploy it (deploy it)
Deploy that healthy block!

Echostar Got Block!
