DISH announces bitcoin payments initiative

DISH today announced that it will begin accepting bitcoin payments from customers starting in the third quarter.

Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam said that this is a large step forward in the growing momentum of customers paying companies in bitcoin.

The bitcoin broker payment option will be available for DISH customers choosing to make one-time payments on mydish.com starting in the third quarter. Customers will still have the option to make any payment online via credit card, debit card or bank account.
