Web3 is redefining the telecom industry by introducing decentralized infrastructure, blockchain-based billing, smart contracts, NFTs, and digital identity. This article explores how telcos can evolve from connectivity providers to key players in Web3 ecosystemsโ€”offering programmable services, token economies, and secure, user-centric digital experiences.
AT&T will acquire Lumenโ€™s consumer fiber business in a $5.75B deal to expand its broadband coverage to 60 million U.S. locations by 2030. The transaction gives AT&T access to 4M enabled locations, 1M subscribers, and new metro markets like Seattle and Phoenix. Meanwhile, Lumen refocuses on enterprise innovation and AI-first networking.
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.
In Episode 222 of The G2 on 5G, analysts Will Townsend and Anshel Sag cover T-Mobileโ€™s 6G equipment testing, Googleโ€™s mid-range Pixel 9a, Vodafoneโ€™s 200M IoT milestone, the GSAโ€™s RedCap group, AT&T’s satellite trials for FirstNet, and MediaTekโ€™s powerful new chipsets for phones and Chromebooks.
Satellite-mobile convergence is rapidly shifting from niche to mainstream, enabling global mobile coverage through Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). With direct-to-device (D2D) standards now supported by 3GPP Releases 17โ€“19, traditional mobile phones can connect directly to satellites. This development has unlocked use cases in emergency response, smart agriculture, logistics, and IoTโ€”paving the way for a future where 6G, edge AI, and multi-orbit architectures redefine connectivity. Learn how telecoms, enterprises, and regulators are navigating the path to a fully connected planet.
U.S. fixed wireless access (FWA) is on the rise, with over 11.5 million subscribers across T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T. Ookla Speedtest data reveals rising download speeds, with T-Mobile leading at 205 Mbps. Verizon manages performance via speed caps, while AT&T positions FWA as a transitional service. Latency and upload improvements further boost FWA’s appeal in 2024.
As Open RAN moves from trials to large-scale adoption, telecom giants like NTT Docomo, AT&T, and TELUS share their real-world deployment strategies. From multivendor interoperability to automation and security, this article explores key operational insights, ecosystem collaborations, and future directions in Open RAN architecture.
5G coverage in the U.S. varies significantly between urban and rural areas. While T-Mobile leads in availability, AT&T leverages FirstNet for rural expansion, and Verizon focuses on C-band spectrum. States like Nevada and Illinois rank high for 5G access, while Wyoming struggles with coverage gaps. With continued investment from major carriers and the FCCโ€™s 5G Fund, rural connectivity is set to improve nationwide.

Broadband leaders and utility companies, including CTA, NCTA, and PG&E, have extended the Voluntary Agreement for Small Network Equipment through 2028. The initiative has already improved home internet device energy efficiency by 89% since 2015, and new targets aim for an additional 10% reduction by 2026. With compliance from major ISPs and device manufacturers, this industry-led effort is making home broadband more sustainable while enhancing performance.
AI is transforming the relationship between telcos and hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. With AI-driven automation, cloud-native networks, and edge computing, telecom operators are optimizing efficiency, reducing costs, and unlocking new revenue streams. As AI-powered innovations reshape 5G, cybersecurity, and digital services, these strategic partnerships are set to redefine the future of telecom.
Vodafone has completed the world’s first satellite-based video call using a standard 4G or 5G smartphoneโ€”no special hardware required. This milestone, achieved with AST SpaceMobile, demonstrates the power of direct-to-smartphone satellite connectivity. By 2026, Vodafone plans to roll out this service commercially across Europe, bridging mobile coverage gaps in rural and remote regions. Learn how this technology is set to redefine mobile broadband and global communication.
