Verizon Expands 6G, Fuels AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Verizon is betting big on the future of wireless by fusing AI-ready infrastructure with next-gen 6G and massive fiber builds, striking billion-dollar deals with Corning and Google to lay the groundwork for high-speed data and AI interconnects. Their “use-case first” demos—like real-time crowd sensing at major events and drone tracking over advanced 5G—aren’t just flashy tech stunts; they’re trial runs for scalable services ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics. But the real test is whether Verizon can t
Spectrum Offers Cox Free Mobile (opens the original)
Read excerpt
US wireless is being pulled in two directions: T-Mobile is doubling down on premium service and bigger network investments, while AT&T, Verizon, and a newly expanded Charter are fighting hard on value and bundling. Charter’s recent acquisition of Cox Communications and Liberty Broadband stakes brings 45 states under the Spectrum brand, but at a steep price—billions in cash, debt, and a high-wage, U.S.-based support overhaul. The stakes are high: Charter is betting scale and cross-selling can off
Charter-Cox Nears Close Amid Churn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Charter just scored regulatory approval for its $34.5 billion buyout of Cox Communications, setting the stage for a massive cable shakeup. The logic: bulk up to fight shrinking broadband numbers and falling revenue, using scale to drive better deals and push Spectrum branding into new markets.

Ericsson Wins AT&T 600MHz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AT&T is reshaping its network by swapping out Nokia for Ericsson, rolling out new 600 MHz radios to boost coverage in hard-to-reach rural and indoor areas. After spending $23 billion on spectrum, they’re betting that these upgrades—plus uplink-enhancing tech for better video, IoT, and AI performance—can drive premium growth and fight customer churn. But here’s the catch: while open RAN was supposed to give carriers bargaining power with multiple vendors, doubling down on Ericsson could mean less
Bundling Wars Reshape Wireless (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wireless pricing is getting shaken up as T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon redraw their playbooks. T-Mobile now sees most new customers picking premium tiers—think big data, streaming bundles, even Starlink-powered satellite perks—flipping its “value” image on its head. Meanwhile, cable challengers like Spectrum and Xfinity are squeezing the middle, pushing premium features at lower prices and forcing the big three to blur their old pricing lanes. It’s a profit tug-of-war: customers win with richer pl
