AT&T has gone live on Boldyn Networks’ neutral-host infrastructure in New York’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&T’s first-mover status sets a competitive benchmark; other national carriers (Verizon and T‑Mobile) are expected to follow as on-boarding progresses across the system.

Large arenas now live or die on mobile performance: digital ticketing, cashless concessions, in-seat ordering, real-time replays, and social sharing all hinge on dense, resilient RF. With nearly 20,000 seats and a heavy calendar of sports and concerts, the Moda Center joins a cohort of tier-one venues investing in 5G as core infrastructure rather than a nice-to-have. American Tower’s role as a neutral host is noteworthy; it positions the venue to support multiple operators on a shared platform, spreading cost, accelerating carrier onboarding, and improving consistency across the “Rose Quarter,” including the adjacent Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum.

India’s telecom usage is now predominantly indoors, and TRAI’s new property rating framework puts digital connectivity on par with core utilities. TRAI’s chairperson flagged a decisive shift: most mobile data is consumed inside homes, offices, malls, hospitals, and transit hubs. Connectivity inside buildings is moving from convenience to necessity. TRAI’s 2024 Regulations introduce a voluntary, performance-based star rating that assesses how ready a property is to deliver high-quality broadband and mobile connectivity. The framework encourages developers to embed Digital Connectivity Infrastructure (DCI) at design stage, aligns with Digital India and Smart Cities Mission, and invites ministries and agencies to incorporate DCI into guidelines, tenders, and training.
