AT&T is spending $23 billion on new spectrum, but what will it do with it?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 02:51:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T will pay roughly $23B to acquire 30 MHz of 3.45 GHz (mid-band) and 20 MHz of 600 MHz (low-band) spectrum from EchoStar/Dish, and the companies say they’ll deepen Boost’s wholesale access agreement with AT&T’s network. Details on the enhanced MVNO deal are vague, but it likely means Boost will lean more on AT&T coverage; priority/QoS improvements are possible but unconfirmed. Don’t expect instant customer-visible changes, but the added spectrum sh

One Universal Antiviral to Rule Them All?

For a few dozen people in the world, the downside of living with a rare immune condition comes with a surprising superpower—the ability to fight off all viruses. Columbia immunologist Dusan Bogunovic discovered the individuals’ antiviral powers about 15 years ago, soon after he identified the genetic mutation that causes the condition. At first, the condition only seemed to increase vulnerability to some bacterial infections. But as more patients were identified, its unexpected antiviral benef

EchoStar stock skyrockets 75% on AT&T deal to buy wireless spectrum for $23 billion

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-11-02 06:35:03

EchoStar said in a regulatory filing that the transaction is part of the company's "ongoing efforts to resolve the Federal Communications Commission's inquiries." The sale will add about 50 megahertz of mid-band and low-band spectrum to AT&T's network, with the licenses covering more than 400 markets across the U.S., AT&T said. The deal is expected to close in mid-2026, pending regulatory approval. EchoStar stock roared more than 75% higher on Tuesday after AT&T said it agreed to purchase cert

The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor. The treadmill itself is also on the bigger side since it's a commercial treadmill, but it does fold up using its easylift assist feature, so

Linear Scan with Lifetime Holes

In my last post, I explained a bit about how to retrofit SSA onto the original linear scan algorithm.

Basically, we made it to 1997 linear scan, with small adaptations for allocating directly on SSA. This time, we’re going to retrofit lifetime holes.

AI Is Eliminating Jobs for Younger Workers

Economists at Stanford University have found the strongest evidence yet that artificial intelligence is starting to eliminate certain jobs.

Capture Checking in Scala

Hands on Capture Checking Introduction I gave a live coding session on capture checking at Scala Days 2025. Let’s be honest: it was essentially a failure, mostly because I have very little live coding experience and woefully underestimated how long it’d take to go through the material.

Tesla could have avoided that $242.5M Autopilot verdict, filings show

Months before a jury awarded a $242.5 million verdict against Tesla over its culpability in a 2019 fatal crash, the automaker had a chance to settle for $60 million. Instead, Tesla rejected that offer, according to new legal filings that were first reported by Reuters. The settlement proposal, which was made in May, was disclosed in a filing that requested Tesla cover legal fees for the plaintiffs in the case.

The Object at the Center of Jupiter Is So Strange That It Defies Comprehension

The core of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has long been a source of mystery for astronomers: an object so unfathomably dense and hot that it defies comprehension. Conventional theories have suggested for years that the gas giant's behemoth interior was formed following an enormous collision with an early planet. The "giant impact" theory suggests that roughly half of Jupiter's core originated from the remains of such a planet, explaining what researchers believe to be its st

Big O notation is a way of describing the performance of a function without using time. Rather than timing a function from start to finish, big O describes how the time grows as the input size increases. It is used to help understand how programs will perform across a range of inputs. In this post I'm going to cover 4 frequently-used categories of big O notation: constant, logarithmic, linear, and quadratic. Don't worry if these words mean nothing to you right now.

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-11-03 05:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to
