"AT&T's 5G Network Speeds Up in Select Markets, T-Mobile and Verizon Follow Suit"

AT&T has completed the upgrade of its 5G network in the greater Houston area, utilizing the C-band spectrum it acquired in 2021. The company has been able to tap into the mid-band spectrum earlier than expected, resulting in increased speeds, better data capacities, and less congestion in several cities, including Austin, Boston, Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. Over 175 million people now have access to AT&T's mid-band 5G network, and another 290 million have a lower-band 5G connection. Customers with 5G capable phones can connect to the enhanced coverage without upgrading their devices.

SpaceX successfully launches final C-band satellites and completes Starlink mission.

SpaceX has launched the final two satellites for SES' C-band spectrum clearing plan, which will earn the operator nearly $4 billion in total. SES-18 and SES-19, built by Northrop Grumman, are set to start services in June after using onboard hydrazine-fueled propulsion to reach their geostationary orbital slots. All costs related to the C-band clearing are eligible for reimbursement, using proceeds the Federal Communications Commission raised in 2021 from auctioning off the frequencies to wireless operators.
