Comcast is migrating Xfinity residential email accounts to Yahoo Mail, a shift that underscores how ISPs are offloading non-core applications to specialized providers. Comcast is transitioning existing Xfinity email mailboxes to be hosted by Yahoo Mail while allowing customers to keep their current @comcast.net or @xfinity.com email addresses. The migration is being phased, with customers notified by Comcast when their account is eligible and given guidance to complete setup. After migration, users access their mailbox through Yahoos web and mobile clients or supported third-party email apps. Mail, folders, contacts, and calendar data are moved as part of the process, with Comcast publishing specific steps and FAQs on support pages to reduce friction.
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.
Virgin Media O2 is partnering with neutral host provider Freshwave to strengthen mobile coverage across 22 Haven holiday parks, aligning seasonal demand with targeted network investment. The project is part of O2s Mobile Transformation Plan, a multi-year program focused on improving capacity and coverage where traffic spikes. The upgrades span popular UK staycation destinations, including coastal and rural parks where coverage can be patchy and demand is highly seasonal. Four parks are live now, with the remaining sites phased over the peak travel window to improve both outdoor and indoor experience for guests, staff, and nearby communities.
A fresh class action intensifies scrutiny of Charter Communications broadband strategy and disclosures following the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and a sharp Q2 subscriber decline. New complaints filed in the Southern District of New York allege Charter and senior executives misled investors about the operational and financial impact of ACPs expiration. ACP, which provided a $30 per month subsidy to eligible low-income households, exhausted funding in June 2024; Charter was the largest ACP participant with more than 5 million subsidized broadband customers. In Q2 2025, Charter reported a net loss of roughly 117,000 Internet subscribers, including about 50,000 disconnects associated with ACPs end.
stc 5G powered the Esports World Cup with 1,295 antennas and 285 MHz spectrum, delivering broadcast-grade uplink, low latency, and reliable performance.
More than $14 billion has been invested across the CBRS stacklicenses, RAN, devices, infrastructure, sensors, and software. Over 420,000 CBRS radio nodes (CBSDs) are in service. The device ecosystem is broad: Apple and Samsung ship n48-capable handsets; industrial and FWA suppliers support n48 CPEs and routers; Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, JMA Wireless and others provide radio and DAS. This is not a pilot; it is production infrastructure. Refarming would force replacement or retuning of hundreds of thousands of base stations and millions of end devices, plus upgrades to SAS integrations and enterprise control planes.
Lufthansa Industry Solutions and Ericsson are tackling logistics bottlenecks with private 5G. At the LAX warehouse, they replaced unreliable Wi-Fi with just two private 5G radios, reducing scanning delays by 97% and eliminating paper logs. With edge computing and AI-powered inspections, their scalable solution is setting a new standard for warehouse automation and logistics connectivity.
The world of wireless connectivity is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with private 5G networks, next-generation 6G innovations, and seamless WiFi-5G integration shaping industries from aviation to maritime logistics.
Connected aviation is transforming airports with secure private networks, IoT, and real-time data. This article unpacks how smart airports boost efficiency, safety, and passenger experience while unlocking new business value with real-world case studies from Heathrow, Changi, Dubai, and more.
Connected aviation is reshaping airports into smart, seamless ecosystems inside and outside the terminal. This case study reveals how hubs like Changi, Schiphol, and SAN use private networks, IoT, and cross-team collaboration to improve passenger flow, airside operations, sustainability, and safety.
Tulsa International Airport (TUL) has deployed a dedicated private cellular network with Communication Technology Services (CTS), replacing legacy Wi-Fi and fiber systems. The network provides secure, low-latency connectivity for airfield operations, surveillance, and perimeter gates while creating a foundation for AI-driven automation, autonomous vehicles, and next-generation airport infrastructure.
Vodacom Business has deployed a dedicated Mobile Private Network (MPN) at Sasol’s Secunda synthetic fuel facility in Mpumalanga. The secure, low-latency network replaces Wi-Fi to deliver resilient connectivity for 3,000 employees, mission-critical operations, and digital transformation initiatives including IoT, asset management, and future autonomous operations.
