Dish Network’s courtroom dance with LightSquared appears to have concluded. Reuters reports that the committee overseeing LightSquared’s bankruptcy auction confirmed Dish has withdrawn its $2.2 billion bid for the company, leaving its controversial L-band spectrum on the table. Dish has other options when it comes to building a mobile broadband network, and now LightSquared’s owners — who opposed Dish’s involvement — appear to be free to pursue their plan to lobby the FCC for relief, assuming the court plays ball.

The keep thinking they will get what they want someday.

After refusing viable bids for their shares I think it is time for the FCC and the court to send these people down the rabbit hole forever to eat their losses.
