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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 14:51:15

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

Beyond GDPR security training: Turning regulation into opportunity

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-02 14:00:10

By Eirik Salmi, System Analyst at Passwork Even though 88% of businesses spend over €1 million on GDPR compliance and 40% invest up to €10 million, 80% of their employees still ignore basic password security practices. The formal risk is obvious: GDPR fines can reach up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. The informal one is quieter but often far more damaging: lost trust, declining customer loyalty, and disrupted operations. In 2024, European regulators issued fines exceeding €1.2

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

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-11-02 18:35:03

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

OpenAI Warns Against Investing in Its Stock

OpenAI isn't a publicly-traded company — yet, at least — and as such, the company's express written consent is necessary for the sale or transfer of its equity. But that massive caveat has not, apparently, stopped sleazy operators from trying to rip would-be investors off with shady promises of buying into the red-hot artificial intelligence giant. In a new blog post, OpenAI warned that there are bad actors out there attempting to make "unauthorized opportunities to gain access" to the company

It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge.

The Apple Watch is not actually carbon neutral, says German court

Apple is no longer allowed to advertise the Apple Watch as carbon neutral, a German court ruled following a protest from environmentalists about Apple’s promoted claims. The Frankfurt court found the company misled consumers for describing the Apple Watch as a CO2-neutral product. Apple first unveiled its first carbon neutral products starting with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in September 2023.

In the Matter of Lisa Cook

Yesterday Donald Trump said that he had fired Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My wording is advisable: He “said” that he had fired her. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems clear that he does not have the right to summarily fire Fed officials, certainly on tissue-thin allegations of mortgage fraud before she even went to the Fed. Cook has said that she will not resign. So at this point the immediate onus is on Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman. He has the right — I would

A recent poll found that 71 percent of Americans were concerned about the technology “permanently” displacing human workers.
