In this episode of The 5G Factor, I’m joined by my colleague and fellow analyst Ron Westfall to talk all things 5G. News, alliances, lawsuits, and new hires — there’s always a lot going on in the 5G ecosystem and that’s what this show is designed to cover. In this episode, we cover the following:  Lumen’s new CEO Kate Johnson comes to the job with serious chops and serious challenges ahead. Mavenir got the thumbs up from Deutsche Telekom CEO Timotheus Hötteges’ move to “work towards a Chinese-free core network infrastructure” replacing Huawei in DT’s core. Starlink fights back against the FCC’s recent decision to deny the company $885.5 million in funding under the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF). T-Mobile and SpaceX’s Starlink partner to leverage Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellits combined with the power of T-Mobile’s wireless network to solve connectivity issues where most needed. Following Apple’s ‘Far Out’ event last week announcing the newest iPhone 14 and iWatch models, T-Mobile launched some pretty ‘far out’ deals of its own.

In this episode of&nbsp;The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we review the Q1 2024 earnings of T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&amp;T and their impact across the 5G ecosystem, BT’s partnership with Global to modernize its UK Portfolio Businesses, and Charter’s Q1 2024 earnings reflect making significant strides in residential mobile service revenue growth.&nbsp; Our analytical review spotlighted: Big 3 US Mobile Operators Hit Guidance Home Runs:&nbsp;T-Mobile reported Q1 2024 results, raising full year guidance and delivering breakthrough customer growth, including a higher share of postpaid phone net additions year-over-year and matching its lowest ever Q1 postpaid phone churn. Verizon spotlighted that the company is on track to meet its financial guidance and to deliver positive Consumer postpaid phone net adds for the year. AT&amp;T stressed that the Q1 2024 results reflect continued strong growth in the company’s Mobility and Consumer Wireline connectivity businesses, which represent about 80% of its total revenues. This consistent, solid performance driven by its investment-led strategy gives AT&amp;T confidence to re-affirm full-year consolidated financial guidance. We examine why all three major operators fulfilled their guidance, who excelled in their guidance outcomes, and the implications of the results for the entire mobile ecosystem.&nbsp; BT Partners with Global to Modernize UK Portfolio Businesses. BT’s&nbsp; comes a year since BT’s former Enterprise and Global divisions came together to create one B2B unit connecting customers in the UK and internationally. As a group of standalone businesses that consume BT’s core assets and serve diverse industries, its UK Portfolio Businesses are integral to BT from the Media &amp; Broadcast services that focus much of the UK’s digital content to the company’s directories businesses that underpin BT’s critical 999 service and credit reference agencies. We assess how BT’s agreement with Global to continue marketing and selling advertising on BT’s 1,000+ existing Street Hubs as well as convert up to 2,000 conventional BT payphones and kiosks into brand new Street Hubs will play a critical role in modernizing BT’s B2B proposition.&nbsp; Charter’s Q1 2024 Reflect Residential Mobile Strides. Charter Communications Q1 2024 included revenue of&nbsp;$13.7 billion&nbsp;grew by 0.2% year-over-year, driven by residential mobile service revenue growth of 37.8% and residential Internet revenue growth of 1.9%. Also, Q1 2024 total residential and SMB mobile lines increased by 486,000. As of&nbsp;March 31, 2024, Charter served a total of 8.3 million mobile lines. Plus, as of&nbsp;March 31, 2024, Charter had a total of 32.0 million residential and SMB customer relationships, excluding mobile-only relationships. We explore why we see Charter executing on the company’s plan to evolve its network at a lower cost than its competitors to offer symmetrical and multi-gigabit speeds across its entire footprint.
