Dish Network has reportedly settled a lawsuit that the company improperly promoted, marketed, advertised and sold their services and products. The lawsuit was brought on by attorney generals in more than 45 states.

It’s believed that the amount of money Dish Network will pay in this settlement is between $5.5 million and $6 million. In addition, Dish Network agreed to be more open in terms of disclosing their fees and terms of service when they are advertising and distributing written contracts.

Although Dish Network has settled, they did not admit to any wrongdoing. According to the satellite television company, all of their business practices followed the letter of the law.

Dish Network was founded 13 years ago and currently has more than 14 million subscribers. The company is headquartered in the state of Colorado.
