Wireless Internet

The tech billionaire has become the dominant power in satellite internet technology. The ways he is wielding that influence are raising global alarms.

T-Mobile reported second quarter 2023 results, delivering industry-best growth in postpaid customers driven by growth in postpaid phone gross additions coupled with the lowest postpaid phone churn in the industry for the first time ever.

Charter Communications reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

In markets where the alternatives are slower technologies like satellite, DSL, or wireless internet service provider (WISP) broadband, customers are happy to have relatively fast broadband for the first time. FWA is also the product for the price-conscious consumer, priced between $50 and $65 when most other broadband technologies cost more.
