Dish Network Corp. Chairman Charlie Ergen said unexpected technical issues have delayed the rollout of his company’s new fifth-generation mobile network but vowed to have basic service ready before a government-ordered coverage deadline hits in June.
“We’re six months behind, and it’s my fault,” Mr. Ergen said Thursday during a conference call with analysts and reporters. “We just didn’t anticipate that we’d have to do as much on the technical side.”
