Dish Network Corp. told the U.S. antitrust chief how the company’s wireless buildout plans might be affected by T-Mobile US Inc.’s proposed purchase of Sprint Corp., according to a filing by the company that’s been on an airwaves acquisition spree in recent years.

The discussion took place as Dish’s co-founder and chairman, Charlie Ergen, met June 11 with the Justice Department’s Makan Delrahim and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai, according to the filing posted Friday on the FCC’s website.
