Dish Makes up with its Ex, EchoStar

Dish has reached an agreement to re-merge with EchoStar, a company it spun off in 2008. EchoStar offers satellite internet service under the HughesNet brand. The intent of the merger is for the new company to be better-positioned financially to continue building out Dish's new 5G network, according to Charlie Ergen, the co-founder and chairman of both companies.
