Dish Network’s bid for US permission to offer a high-speed wireless network may face resistance from the Federal Communications Commission, two analysts said.

The agency yesterday proposed writing new rules for airwaves that Dish intends to use for the service, a process that typically takes months. The step may indicate FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is “disinclined” to grant the waivers Dish needs, David Kaut and Christopher King, Stifel Nicolaus analysts, said in a note.

Dish, the second-largest US satellite-TV provider behind DirecTV, asked the FCC in August for clearance to buy assets of satellite companies DBSD North America and TerreStar Networks. Dish also asked for waivers to let it offer service with handsets that use ground-based signals only and don’t communicate directly with satellites.

Dish dropped 1.3 percent to $28.79 in Nasdaq trading.
