Michael Kelly, head of Dish Network’s troubled mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) efforts, will step down at the end of the month after about ten months on the job. Kelly was executive VP and head of Dish’s retail cellular division, which included Boost Mobile, Boost Infinite and Gen Mobile. CEO Hamid Akhavan will take over day-to-day operations for the retail wireless sector while the company hunts for a successor.
His abrupt departure comes just as Dish announced that its Boost Wireless Network is now covering more than 200 million Americans nationwide with 5G voice or Voice over New Radio (VoNR).
