AT&Tโ€™s third quarter shows steady operational execution in wireless and fiber, supported by portfolio moves that aim to strengthen capacity, reach, and cash generation through 2027. AT&T reported Q3 2025 revenue of $30.7 billion, up 1.6% year over year, with diluted EPS of $1.29 boosted by a gain related to the sale of its DIRECTV investment; adjusted EPS was $0.54, roughly flat year over year. Free cash flow improved to $4.9 billion from $4.6 billion a year ago, a key metric for debt reduction and capital returns. AT&Tโ€™s cross-sell between fiber and mobility is showing tangible traction in both net additions and churn control.
T-Mobile has launched a purpose-built Cyber Defense Center alongside a new Executive Briefing Center, signaling a maturing, integrated approach to cyber resilience across its network and enterprise business. T-Mobile unveiled a centralized Cyber Defense Center at its Bellevue, Washington headquarters to detect, disrupt, and respond to threats in real time, complemented by an Executive Briefing Center that showcases industry use cases and a tie-in to the companyโ€™s always-on Business Operations Center for continuity during crises. T-Mobileโ€™s Business Operations Center remains the operational backbone for network health, customer experience continuity, and coordinated disaster response, integrating data-driven dashboards that support rapid decisioning during natural disasters, outages, and high-impact events.
AT&T has gone live on Boldyn Networksโ€™ neutral-host infrastructure in New Yorkโ€™s Joralemon Street tunnel, with G line tunnel segments next in the rollout. AT&T customers can now access 5G mobile service through the 1.1-mile (1.8 km) Joralemon Street tunnel, the oldest underwater subway tunnel in New York City, which links the 4/5 lines between Borough Hall in Brooklyn and Bowling Green in Manhattan. Subway connectivity has shifted from convenience to critical infrastructure for safety, accessibility, and productivity. AT&Tโ€™s first-mover status sets a competitive benchmark; other national carriers (Verizon and Tโ€‘Mobile) are expected to follow as on-boarding progresses across the system.
AT&T is testing a carrier-grade call-screening assistant that answers unknown calls on your behalf and filters out likely robocalls before your phone ever rings. The operator is trialing an AI โ€œdigital receptionistโ€ with select customers that intercepts calls from numbers you donโ€™t recognize, asks the caller to identify themselves and their purpose, and then decides whether to connect, take a message, or end the call. Because the service runs in AT&Tโ€™s network, it can also consider patterns from your calling history to recognize frequent contacts and allow them through automatically.
T-Mobile for Business will serve as the Official Telecommunications Services Provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, positioning the event as a high-stakes proving ground for end-to-end 5G operations, broadcast connectivity, and fan experience at unprecedented scale. The LA28 organizing committee plans to run events across more than 110 connected locations, including over 40 competition venues distributed throughout Southern California. That footprint transforms LA28 into a distributed, city-scale network project where wide-area 5G must interoperate with venue networks, edge compute, and broadcast infrastructure under peak, dynamic loads.
2025 has seen major telecom and tech M&A activity, including billion-dollar deals in fiber, AI, cloud, and cybersecurity. This monthly tracker details key acquisitions, like AT&T buying Lumenโ€™s fiber assets and Googleโ€™s $32B move for Wiz, highlighting how consolidation is shaping the competitive landscape.
AT&T has agreed to acquire approximately 50 MHz of low- and mid-band spectrum licenses from EchoStar for about $23 billion in cash, a move that could reset capacity economics and regulatory debates across U.S. mobile and satellite markets. The transaction adds a significant block of licensed spectrum covering more than 400 U.S. markets, with closing targeted for mid-2026 pending regulatory approvals and customary conditions. Strategically, this portfolio densifies AT&Tโ€™s spectrum layer cake and narrows the mid-band depth gap with competitors in key markets, improving headroom for consumer, enterprise, and public-sector growth over the next five to seven years.
Verizon Value is rolling out enhanced prepaid international services across its Simple Mobile and Total Wireless brands, sharpening its competitive edge in global roaming and cross-border communications starting August 28, 2025. The offers blend unlimited international calling to large country sets, global texting, and expanded roaming with 5G access on Verizon’s network, including 5G Ultra Wideband on select tiers. Simple Mobile adds unlimited global texting across all plans and scales international calling and data inclusions from entry to premium tiers. Total Wireless retools its unlimited structure with a five-year price guarantee (taxes and fees included), adds 95 more calling destinations (up to 180 countries on higher tiers), and doubles roaming coverage to 30+ countries.
AI buildouts and multi-cloud scale are stressing data center interconnect, making high-capacity, on-demand metro connectivity a priority for enterprises. Training pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation, and model distribution are shifting traffic patterns from north-south to high-volume east-west across metro clusters of data centers and cloud on-ramps. This is the backdrop for Lumen Technologies push to deliver up to 400Gbps Ethernet and IP Services in more than 70 third-party, cloud on-ramp ready facilities across 16 U.S. metro markets. The draw is operational agility: bandwidth provisioning in minutes, scaling up to 400Gbps per service, and consumption-based pricing that aligns spend with variable AI and data movement spikes.
The FCC has approved T-Mobileโ€™s $4.4B acquisition of UScellular and a 50% stake in Metronet, marking a strategic push into rural 5G and fixed broadband. While the moves improve network reach and service speeds, regulators caution that market consolidation among the Big Three wireless providers may restrict long-term competition and innovation.
Americans spend $166 billion annually on mobile phone services, making up 4% of all household bill expenses. A new doxoINSIGHTS report reveals median monthly costs of $96, with wide variations by state and city. Nebraska and Dallas top the charts, while tools like doxoINSIGHTS help users compare costs and save on mobile bills.
