New research from New Street Research and Recon Analytics reveals that despite cable controlling roughly 60% of the US broadband market, only about 20% of Starlink’s gross subscriber additions come from cable defectors. More than 85% of Starlink’s US customer base is located in rural areas, and a significant share of its growth comes from first-time broadband subscribers. Meanwhile, Starlink’s median download speeds now exceed 100 Mbps in nearly every US state, fundamentally shifting its competitive standing in the satellite and terrestrial broadband landscape.

Wireless services are defying U.S. inflation trends in a way virtually no other sector is. According to CTIA’s newly released More for Less: 2026 Wireless Affordability Tracker, nominal wireless prices have declined 4.1% over the past year and 19% over the past decade, while the economy-wide CPI rose more than 37% over the same period. Adjusted for inflation, postpaid unlimited plans are down roughly 10% year-over-year, and prepaid options have fallen more than 50% over five years. For enterprise decision-makers, this pricing trajectory represents a structurally favorable condition for mobile workforce and IoT connectivity planning.
T-Mobile and Ericsson are delivering measurable AI-native RAN results at commercial scale on a live 5G Advanced network. Ericsson’s AI-native Scheduler with Link Adaptation replaces rule-based logic with a neural network that predicts RF conditions in real time, achieving close to 10 percent spectral efficiency improvement and up to 15 percent downlink throughput gains. Separately, Ericsson validated its Cloud RAN software running on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, enabling hardware-agnostic deployment. Together, these advances signal that AI-native networking is no longer theoretical — it is executing at national scale.
Dragos confirms AI models autonomously targeted SCADA systems at a Mexican water utility – a turning point every OT and ICS security leader must understand.
Satellite D2D offers MNOs a rare, low-CapEx differentiator. But unlocking its value demands smarter monetization, targeted verticals, and a long-term NTN strategy.
Washington and industry have synchronized timelines and targets to identify, clear, and harmonize the mid-band spectrum that will underpin commercial 6G deployments in the early 2030s. The Administration’s National Security Presidential Memorandum on 6G directs NTIA to reallocate 7.125–7.4 GHz for full‑power, licensed commercial use and to study federal relocation to 7.4–8.4 GHz where feasible; it also orders immediate feasibility studies in 2.69–2.9 GHz and 4.4–4.94 GHz. The 7.125–7.4 GHz range is the U.S. front‑runner for high‑power licensed 6G, with NTIA studying federal relocation to clear contiguous bandwidth and enable 400–750 MHz per operator in a single swath.
Map your private mobile network security gaps to real threat scenarios – Salt Typhoon, Volt Typhoon, AI data poisoning, rogue devices, unencrypted OT — with a prioritised action plan.

BT is set to launch commercial 5G network slicing services before the end of summer 2026, marking a significant milestone for the UK’s 5G Standalone market. Built on Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G Core and underpinned by dynamic slice selection via NSSF and programmable network access through NEF APIs, BT’s offer targets both enterprise and consumer segments. With 5G SA coverage already reaching 50 million people and a 90% population threshold defining national availability, BT is positioning slicing as a credible, SLA-backed connectivity service — not a proof-of-concept.
40+ independent tools to size networks, prioritize AI use cases, and model ROI — grounded in deployment evidence, across manufacturing, mining, ports, airports & utilities.
