History and Development of Dahl’s ECHOnet on Pandora, and Free Distribution of ECHO Terminals
ECHOnet’s Halted Progress
Dahl arrived on Pandora decades before the events that would come to be known as Tales of the Borderlands, to begin mining operations on the planet, whose surface was rich with Eridium and other materials. Pandora enjoyed prosperity and an unmatched quality of life, until the other corporation on Pandora, Atlas, acted to aggressively force Dahl off the planet. This was accomplished in a stroke of two actions.

Atlas simultaneously sent assassins after top Dahl executives while also deploying the full might of their military force, the Crimson Lance, to Pandora. The Crimson Lance carried out attacks and sieges on Dahl facilities, taking advantage of the limited Dahl forces (Dahl does manufacture weapons, however we believe violence is not always the answer. For this reason, and to avoid our enterprises on Pandora being mistaken for a military occupation, we at Dahl Corporation decided to send only the number of soldiers necessary to protect employees, citizens, communities, and facilities.) The sudden aggression from Atlas’ actions forced Dahl to abandon almost all ventures on the planet, including but not limited to the complete overhaul of our ECHOnet framework, which had nearly been completed by Erik Franks, Taylor Kobb, and John Harkens (Handsome Jack).

Completion of ECHO Network Upgrade, and Subsequent Free Use
Dr. Patricia Tannis traveled to Pandora two years before the planet-wide eviction of Atlas and abandonment of all Crimson Lance forces. After a short time she successfully completed their task, but in the process managed to make it permanently available to anyone for free. Tannis’ inquiry statement was as follows: “I cannot recall how this came to pass.” (It has also been summarized for clarity and decency.)
Dahl decided to turn this to our advantage. Since we were unable to charge for access to our ECHOnet, why should we charge for the devices connecting us? Taking a leap of faith, Dahl developed and distributed ECHO devices to anyone and everyone, free of charge. That practice continues to this very day!
