Once again Dish cutting corners to save money at the expense of doing the right thing. A truly morally bankrupt corporation.
Dish Network hit with $150K space junk penalty.
Satellite TV provider Dish Network was fined $150,000 for improperly disposing of one of its satellites in space — making it the first company to be issued a space debris penalty by the U.S. government.
The Federal Communications Commission announced Monday that it had settled an investigation into the company for failing to properly deorbit its retired EchoStar-7 satellite.
“This marks a first in space debris enforcement by the Commission, which has stepped up its satellite policy efforts,” the FCC stated.
