AT&T $177M Data Breach Settlement: Eligibility & Claims

AT&T $177M Data Breach Settlement: Eligibility & Claims
AT&T 1 offers up to $5,000 for documented, incident-related losses, or a tiered cash payment if you don’t submit documentation; whether a Social Security number was involved may affect the tier. AT&T 2 offers up to $2,500 for documented, incident-related losses, or a proportional cash payment without documentation. If you qualify for both incidents and have separate documentation for each, the combined cap could reach $7,500. Actual amounts depend on the total number of valid claims and settlement costs, and funds will not be distributed until after final court approval.

India–UK telecom innovation centre for 5G-Advanced and 6G

India–UK telecom innovation centre for 5G-Advanced and 6G
India and the United Kingdom have launched the India–UK Connectivity and Innovation Centre to accelerate secure, AI-driven, and resilient telecom technologies over the next four years. The two governments committed an initial £24 million—roughly ₹250–₹282 crore depending on exchange rates—to fund applied research, joint testbeds, field trials, and standards contributions in emerging telecom domains. The investment concentrates on three pillars: AI in telecommunications, non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) for satellite and airborne connectivity, and telecoms cybersecurity with open, interoperable systems. The multi-year window aligns to the critical runway for 5G‑Advanced and early 6G experimentation.

Telecom Equipment Market Rebounds +4% Global

Telecom Equipment Market Rebounds +4% Global
After two years of decline, telecom equipment spending is edging back into positive territory with early signs of a broad-based rebound. Dell’Oro Group’s preliminary data indicates worldwide telecom equipment revenues across six tracked sectors rose 4% year over year in the first half of 2025, with markets outside China up a stronger 8%. The rebound was not limited to a single pocket of spend, but three areas led the gains: mobile core networks, optical transport, and service provider routers and switches. By contrast, RAN remains comparatively muted in many markets as 5G macro buildouts mature.

Verizon to Acquire Starry for Urban FWA Expansion

Verizon to Acquire Starry for Urban FWA Expansion
Verizon has entered a definitive agreement to acquire Starry, a fixed wireless broadband specialist focused on MDUs across Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and Washington, D.C. Starry brings nearly 100,000 broadband customers and an MDU-centric network architecture built around wideband millimeter-wave and hybrid fiber. Verizon said the move will support its ambition to double fixed wireless subscribers to roughly 8–9 million by 2028 and extend availability to about 90 million households. Starry’s in-market MDU know-how and neutral-host friendly building relationships give Verizon a fast path to scale in cities where it already owns substantial fiber backhaul and large 28/39 GHz mmWave holdings.

Orange SafetyCase adds OneWeb LEO for crisis connectivity

Orange SafetyCase adds OneWeb LEO for crisis connectivity
SafetyCase—Orange Business’s portable emergency telecoms unit—now bonds terrestrial access with OneWeb’s LEO satellite backhaul to keep voice, data, and video online when fixed and mobile networks fail. The move adds low-latency satellite links from a European operator to a solution already engineered and built in France, aligning with sovereignty and continuity mandates across the EU. The target users include first responders, public safety agencies, local authorities, operators of vital importance (OVIs), and essential enterprises. LEO adds a robust, geographically independent path that supports modern, IP-based coordination tools—push-to-talk over LTE/5G (MCX), live video, GIS—and does so with the latency profile field teams require.

Intel Panther Lake 18A: AI PCs and Xeon 6+
Intel detailed its first client and server products on the new 18A process, positioning the company for AI PCs and power‑efficient cloud at a time when onshore manufacturing and TCO matter more than ever. Intel previewed Core Ultra series 3 “Panther Lake,” its first client SoC line on 18A, with a multi‑chiplet design that blends new performance and efficient cores with an upgraded Arc GPU and dedicated AI acceleration across the CPU, GPU, and NPU. On the server side, Intel previewed “Clearwater Forest,” branded Xeon 6+, its next‑gen E‑core product built on 18A and targeted for launch in the first half of 2026.

India Satcom Rollout Nears After TRAI Spectrum Pricing

India Satcom Rollout Nears After TRAI Spectrum Pricing
India is poised to greenlight commercial satellite communication services once TRAI issues final pricing for satellite spectrum use and associated charges. The communications minister indicated the policy and licensing groundwork for satellite broadband is largely complete, with two GMPCS licenses issued and one additional letter of intent granted. The final trigger is the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s decision on spectrum pricing and usage fees for satcom bands. After that, operators can commence rollouts—initially for enterprise and backhaul, then for consumer broadband in selected markets. Bharti-backed Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Jio’s satellite unit are positioned to move early, with constellation capacity and gateways progressing.

AT&T and Ericsson launches cloud-based IoT Marketplace

AT&T and Ericsson launches cloud-based IoT Marketplace
The new AT&T IoT Marketplace turns complex IoT procurement and lifecycle management into a catalog-driven digital experience that aims to speed revenue and reduce operational friction for enterprises and partners. AT&T, working with Ericsson, introduced a digital eCommerce platform that unifies how IoT services are discovered, configured, contracted, provisioned, and billed. The Marketplace is powered by Ericsson’s Digital Experience Platform alongside its Catalogue Manager and Order Care components. AT&T reports it has cut the time it takes to order certain fleet management services from hours to minutes, an indicator of the step-change in operational efficiency the Marketplace is designed to deliver.

Jio at IMC 2025: AI, Safety and 6G Roadmap

Jio at IMC 2025: AI, Safety and 6G Roadmap
At India Mobile Congress 2025, Jio framed a broad agenda that ties devices, networks, AI skills, and safety into a national-scale digital strategy. The message from Jio’s chairman was clear: India’s telecom flywheel now spans the full value chain, from semiconductors and device platforms to fraud management and the next wave of 6G research. Telcos are shifting from pure connectivity to platform businesses that bundle devices, cloud access, security, and AI services. JioPC is positioned as an “AI-ready” computer that turns any screen into a managed endpoint, delivered through a subscription model.

Telia and SJ Partner on 5G, IoT and Rail Resilience

Telia and SJ Partner on 5G, IoT and Rail Resilience
Sweden’s largest passenger rail operator SJ is consolidating its communications estate with Telia to accelerate 5G, IoT, and crisis-readiness across trains, stations, depots, and corporate operations. The partnership positions Telia as SJ’s primary provider for nationwide mobile and fixed communications, combining public 5G/LTE coverage with managed services that support day‑to‑day rail operations and passenger experience. For passengers, more consistent Wi‑Fi backhaul and seamless digital services are the immediate wins; for operations, the prize is reliability and faster recovery when incidents occur. European operators are scaling beyond discrete connectivity pilots toward platforms that unify onboard systems, station sensors, and back‑office analytics.

Vi Protect: AI-Powered Network Security Debuts at IMC 2025

Vi Protect: AI-Powered Network Security Debuts at IMC 2025
Vodafone Idea (Vi) used India Mobile Congress 2025 to unveil Vi Protect, a network-integrated, AI-powered security suite aimed at stopping spam calls, fraudulent messages, and fast-moving cyber threats for both consumers and businesses. By moving detection into the network rather than relying on over-the-top apps, Vi is positioning security as a core service-level capability with lower latency, broader coverage, and tighter control. Unlike app-only caller ID and spam filtering, Vi Protect runs at the DNS, SMS, and voice gateway layers, combining AI models, web crawlers, and subscriber feedback loops. The operator says its systems have already intercepted more than 600 million scam and spam attempts.
