Driving #5G from a tertiary position to a primary connectivity modality for enterprises is a priority says T-Mobile's Jean Sahla during #EricssonAnalystEvent

.T-Mobile's Jean Sahla believes that 90% of retail chains either have, or are testing a 5G router in their business. #EricssonAnalystEvent

2024 is the year of the cellular laptop w/T-Mobile's Jean Sahla telling attendees at #EricssonAnalystEvent that the co will pay $250-$400 to customers that activate a #5G laptop SIM to make 5G laptops cheaper than a Wi-Fi laptop. All US MNOs are pushing cellular laptops this year

"Big tech operators are aggressively deploying nondisclosure agreements to force local officials, construction workers and others to keep these projects under wraps." Bc THAT is SO good for community relations. Won't inspire wide-scale NIMBY-ism at all. nytimes.com/2024/09/15/opi…

T-Mobile targeting continued disruption of the broadband market with stated goals of 12m #5G #FWA subs by 2028, along with 12-15M homes passed with fiber. $TMUS

#TMobile's Mike Sievert outlines radical leveraging of internal data drives operations (yep, with #AI) in pursuit of customer satisfaction. Amazing that it sounds transformational but should be foundational to any company, not just in telecom. $TMUS

.Mike Sievert admitting that each call into #TMobile's customer service centers represent an accident chain failure that could be prevented is refreshingly honest. Better leveraging of data, not only in real time, but honest assessment of why customers leave is SO important.

.T-Mobile is charging into the competitive 1st responder/public safety space with #TPriority (T-Priority). A #5G #networkslice for 1st responders isn't a surprise...the segment is tailormade for a network slice. Engagement with NYC on T-Priority is a huge win out of the gate.

Interesting to hear that T-Mobile is partnering with @Nokia in its AI RAN initiative, along with NVIDIA. Especially amid rumors that Nokia is looking to offload its mobile assets to Samsung.

Eye-opening discussion from 5G Americas' Jose Otero on the structural & behavioral impediments to 5G adoption in LATAM: Device upgrade rates continue to trend upward in many markets - more than 4 yrs in Brazil.

I always love it when Rhode Island makes headlines in my professional inbox...of course what is interesting is to see the time lag btwn local reporting & industry-specific news. Local journalists broke this over a month ago. fierce-network.com/broadband/what…

I really think all this naming of technology events and products is getting out of hand. Salt Typhoon, DeepSeek...it sounds like a bad pirate radio episode of SpongeBob SquarePants

Chris Barnard kicking off IDC's pre-MWC Telco Forum: Barcelona with a question that frames the importance of connectivity: Why is telecommunications the lynchpin between cybersecurity and AI for good? #MWC2025 #IDCatMWC

We're in the home stretch of a potential "Project 624" unveiling from #Verizon (IF 624 is a date reference). How will the substance compare to past, more famous initiatives in history with the "Project" moniker: Apollo Project, the Manhattan Project, the Alan Parson's Project?

Big punch from T-Mobile laying claim to the “Best Network” mantle in U.S. wireless. Will be interested in seeing competitive response…

I do love Srini Gopalan’s music analogy during today’s T-Mobile #BestNetwork press event. Acoustics (infrastructure), musicians/instruments (spectrum), conductor (standalone core) driving Best Network scores from Ookla

Perfect clarity of messaging from T-Mobile’s Mike Katz around #TSatellite: It is about providing “access to peace of mind”. That’s right and that peace of mind can be invaluable.

“Can of whoop-up”

Despite the #Starlink outage, it seems unrelated to the launch of #TMobile’s #TSatellite service, which is operating normally I’m told with no outage or network impacts.

The $23B #ATT is spending on #EchoStar's 3.45GHz spectrum is nearly as much as it spent on 2021's #CBand auction in 2021 ($23.4B), but translating that spectrum to bottom line impacts will take time & could face a contentious approval from the #FCC. about.att.com/story/2025/ech…
