Good day and welcome to the DISH Network Corporation's Q2 2022 Earnings Call. Today's conference is being recorded.

At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Tim Messner. Please go ahead.

Tim Messner

All right. Thanks, Christina. Good morning everyone and thanks for joining us. We're joined on the call this morning by Charlie Ergen, our Chairman; Erik Carlson, our CEO; Paul Orban, our CFO; Tom Cullen, EVP of Corporate Development; Dave Mayo, EVP of Network Development; Stephen Stokols, EVP of Boost Mobile; and John Swieringa, President and COO of Wireless.

Before we start, our safe harbors. During this call, we may make forward-looking statements which are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results or from our forecast. We assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking statements. For more information on factors that may affect future results, please refer to our SEC filings. We filed an application to potentially participate as a bidder in SEC Auction 108 because of the SEC's anti-collusion rules we're not able to discuss that auction and we won't be answering any questions on it during the call today. We don't have opening remarks this morning, so we'll go straight to questions.

Christina, let's start with the analyst. Thank you.

And we will now take questions from the analyst community. [Operator Instructions] We will take our first question from Phil Cusick with JPMorgan.

Phil Cusick

Hi, thanks guys. I wonder if you can talk about, Charlie, funding requirements. You have a maturity in March and some others in 2024 while your CapEx is still ramping. Can you talk about that? Can you give us a little bit of an overview as well on the credit back in the first quarter – from the first quarter on the T-Mobile contract? And then just talk about the competitive environment in wireless overall.
