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.
Alaska Air Groups move to deploy SpaceX Starlink across Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines by 2027 signals a decisive pivot to low-latency, LEO-based inflight connectivity for U.S. carriers. Inflight WiFi has moved from perk to productivity platform, and latency not just bandwidth now defines user experience for video conferences, collaboration tools, and gaming. By standardizing on Starlink's low Earth orbit (LEO) network, Alaska is targeting ground-like performance gate-to-gate across regional, narrowbody, and widebody fleets. Alaska cites sub-100 ms latency and up to 500 Mbps per aircraft, enabling real-time messaging, cloud apps, and streaming on multiple devices without gating performance to a handful of users.
Deutsche Telekom is using hardware, pricing, and partnerships to make AI a mainstream feature set across mass-market smartphones and tablets. Deutsche Telekom introduced the T Phone 3 and T Tablet 2, branded as the AI-phone and AI-tablet, with Perplexity as the embedded assistant and a dedicated magenta button for instant access. In Germany, the AI-phone starts at 149 and the AI-tablet at 199, or one euro each when bundled with a tariff, positioning AI features at entry-level price points and shifting value to services and connectivity. The bundle includes an 18-month Perplexity Pro subscription in addition to the embedded assistant, plus three months of Picsart Pro with monthly credits, which lowers the barrier to adopting AI-powered creation and search.
An unsolicited offer from Perplexity to acquire Googles Chrome raises immediate questions about antitrust remedies, AI distribution, and who controls the internets primary access point. Perplexity has proposed a $34.5 billion cash acquisition of Chrome and says backers are lined up to fund the deal despite the startups significantly smaller balance sheet and an estimated $18 billion valuation in recent fundraising. The bid includes commitments to keep Chromium open source, invest an additional $3 billion in the codebase, and preserve current user defaults including leaving Google as the default search engine. The timing aligns with a U.S. Department of Justice push for structural remedies after a court found Google maintained an illegal search monopoly, with a Chrome divestiture floated as a central remedy.
Comcast has launched World Soccer Ticket for Xfinity customers, a soccer-centric bundle priced at $85 per month that consolidates more than 1,500 matches a year across nearly 60 English- and Spanish-language networks and Peacock Premium.
