Verizon posted better-than-expected Q1 2025 earnings, with revenue and profits rising. But a record loss of 289,000 postpaid phone subscribers sent the stock down, as investors focused more on churn than cash flow. While prepaid gains and stable guidance offered some optimism, analysts remain cautious about Verizonโ€™s subscriber strategy and pricing pressure.
President Trumpโ€™s executive order to modernize environmental permitting may streamline U.S. infrastructure projectsโ€”but it notably omits telecom and broadband. Industry experts say pole attachments, state permitting rules, and access to federal lands remain critical hurdles. While the order could bring indirect benefits, real telecom reform still requires sector-specific solutions.
Airtel has acquired 400 MHz of 26 GHz mmWave spectrum from Adani Data Networks, a move that strengthens its high-speed 5G offerings in urban and enterprise zones. The deal enhances Airtelโ€™s ability to scale fixed wireless access, industrial 5G networks, and high-bandwidth consumer services. With India’s spectrum demand surging, this acquisition underscores the critical role of efficient spectrum use and signals a new phase of telecom consolidation.
Indian telecom companies such as Jio and Airtel are moving beyond internal AI use cases to co-develop monetizable, India-focused AI applications in partnership with tech giants like Google, Nvidia, Cisco, and AMD. These collaborations are enabling sector-specific AI tools across healthcare, education, and agriculture, boosting operational efficiency, customer experience, and creating new revenue streams for telecom operators.
ETSI has published its first ISAC report for 6Gโ€”ETSI GR ISC 001โ€”highlighting 18 use cases across healthcare, public safety, automation, and mobility.
