Anthropic Mythos Model: EU Access Blocked as AI Geopolitics Escalate

Anthropic Mythos Model: EU Access Blocked as AI Geopolitics Escalate
Anthropic's Mythos model, launched under Project Glasswing in April 2026, has exposed critical fault lines in how allied governments coordinate on AI safety and access. The White House controls who receives access beyond U.S. borders, with the European Commission told it must seek U.S. permission before any access is granted. For European enterprises and telecom operators, this creates a structural challenge: holding regulatory authority over AI through the EU AI Act while lacking direct visibility into the frontier models they are tasked with overseeing.

NVIDIA and IREN Partner to Deploy 5 GW of AI Infrastructure

NVIDIA and IREN Partner to Deploy 5 GW of AI Infrastructure
The NVIDIA-IREN partnership, announced May 7, 2026, commits both companies to jointly deploying up to 5 gigawatts of NVIDIA DSX-aligned AI factory infrastructure across IREN's global data center pipeline. A five-year, $3.4 billion managed GPU cloud services contract anchors the deal, alongside a warrant granting NVIDIA rights to purchase up to 30 million IREN shares. The Sweetwater campus in Texas serves as the reference implementation for NVIDIA's DSX architecture, signaling a new phase of vertically integrated, gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure planning that is reshaping competitive dynamics across hyperscalers, telecom operators, and enterprise IT.

T-Mobile Starlink D2D Usage Falls Short — What It Means for Satellite Mobile

Starlink Mobile Seeing ‘A Lot Less Usage’ Than Expected, T-Mobile CEO Says
T-Mobile CEO Srini Gopalan admitted during Q1 2026 earnings that its T-Satellite direct-to-device service is seeing far less usage than projected, largely because T-Mobile's terrestrial network leaves few coverage gaps for consumers. With 1.8 million free beta sign-ups failing to translate into strong paid engagement, and Apple's free Globalstar satellite messaging compressing the addressable market, T-Mobile is pivoting toward enterprise connectivity. Its new SuperBroadband offering pairs 5G with Starlink LEO broadband, targeting businesses in healthcare, retail, and energy that require resilient, always-on connectivity across distributed locations.

Verizon 5G: 55K Postpaid Adds Signal Stability

Verizon One: What a $70 Converged Bundle Tells Us About Where Consumer Connectivity Is Heading
Verizon posted 55,000 postpaid phone net additions, a modest beat that underscores stabilizing consumer trends and stronger execution in premium plans and broadband cross-sell. The net add beat is small in absolute terms, but strategically important: it points to improving churn and a healthier mix of high-value subscribers after several quarters of intense promotional pressure. Management coupled the result with a constructive outlook characterized by service revenue resilience and disciplined capital intensity, hinting at a tighter or modestly raised full‑year guide. For a market still digesting 5G investment cycles, this steady footing matters more than splashy net‑add gains.
