Eight major US carriers Form C2 ISAC to Strengthen Network Cybersecurity

Eight major US carriers Form C2 ISAC to Strengthen Network Cybersecurity
Eight of the most influential US telecommunications carriers — including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Comcast — have established the Communications Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Analysis Center, known as C2 ISAC. Governed by the CISOs of each founding company and led by a director with CISA and FBI experience, C2 ISAC is designed to deliver real-time, actionable threat intelligence across competing carriers that collectively defend America's critical communications infrastructure. Operations are expected to begin in June 2026.

BT 5G Network Slicing: UK Commercial Launch Summer 2026

BT 5G Network Slicing: UK Commercial Launch Summer 2026
BT is set to launch commercial 5G network slicing services before the end of summer 2026, marking a significant milestone for the UK's 5G Standalone market. Built on Ericsson's dual-mode 5G Core and underpinned by dynamic slice selection via NSSF and programmable network access through NEF APIs, BT's offer targets both enterprise and consumer segments. With 5G SA coverage already reaching 50 million people and a 90% population threshold defining national availability, BT is positioning slicing as a credible, SLA-backed connectivity service — not a proof-of-concept.

Verizon 5G: 55K Postpaid Adds Signal Stability

Verizon 5G capex cuts as Q4 subscribers surge
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.

Vodafone AI Scam Call Protection

Vodafone AI Scam Call Protection
Vodafone has introduced a network-embedded AI feature that flags suspected scam and nuisance calls before customers answer, strengthening its Secure Net Mobile security bundle. The new Scam Call Protection capability augments Vodafone’s consumer security service, Secure Net Mobile, by analyzing inbound calls in real time and labeling high‑risk traffic on the user’s screen. It targets fraud, spam, and nuisance calls at the network layer, providing protection without an extra app or device-side configuration. Risk scoring occurs within Vodafone’s network, allowing suspicious calls to be flagged before the device rings.
