AT&T signs lease for large space at Travelers Tower II in Southfield. AT&T has signed a lease for 157,000 square feet of office space at Travelers Tower II in Southfield, according to Newmark, a commercial real estate advisor and service provider that represented the landlord, Time Equities Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. October 1, 2026 AT&T has signed a lease for 157,000 square feet of office space at Travelers Tower II in Southfield, according to Newmark, a commercial real estate advisor and service provider that represented the landlord, Time Equities Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. One of the largest recent lease transactions - General Motors Co. moved to Hudson's Detroit late last year and occupies more than 200,000 square feet - the Travelers Towers campus in Southfield comprises two interconnected office buildings (Traveler Tower I and Travelers Tower II) totaling 810,460 square feet on a 21-acre site, along with a multi-level parking structure and surface parking. AT&T will join other tenants at Travelers Tower that include Lucid Motors, R1, MetLife, Willis Towers Watson, RXO, and S&P. "Securing a lease of 157,000 square feet speaks directly to the strength of the corporate community at Travelers Towers," says Aaron Moore, asset manager at Time Equities. "Welcoming a major tenant of this scale complements an already strong mix of global companies and brings Tower II to near-full occupancy." Daniel Canvasser, executive managing director of Newmark, which has local offices in Southfield and Bloomfield Hills, says the addition of AT&T "is a significant transaction that represents a meaningful commitment to Travelers Tower II and the Southfield office market." The property has undergone extensive capital improvements by Time Equities that include upgrades to the fitness center; renovated lobbies, café, and restrooms; elevator modernization; HVAC upgrades; and updated signage and artwork. The property also offers a conference center, a tenant lounge, outdoor patios, and a range of on-site retail and services - Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Captain Jay's, Poke Poke, Gateway Deli, and Samoon. Following the lease, approximately 33,786 square feet remains available at Travelers Tower II. "The property continues to benefit from its strong location, high-quality amenities, and ongoing capital investment, and this lease further demonstrates the appeal of well-positioned Class A office assets to today's tenants," says J.P. Champine, managing director at Newmark. The tenant was represented by AJ Weiner, senior managing director at JLL, and Dave MacDonald, managing director at JLL. Located along Evergreen Road in Southfield, Travelers Towers provides access to I-696, M-10/Northwestern Highway, M-39/Southfield Freeway, and U.S. 24/Telegraph Road. The property is near Lawrence Technological University and the Southfield municipal complex. According to Newmark Research, Southfield's office market continues to demonstrate leasing momentum. In the second quarter of 2026, office vacancy declined 160 basis points to 26.2 percent, driven by 281,463 square feet of positive absorption. The quarter marked the third consecutive quarter of absorption, bringing total absorption over the three-quarter period to 512,877 square feet and reducing the market's vacancy rate by 300 basis points.
AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon launch joint venture that helps end dead zones; name Paul Roth interim CEO. Oct 01, 2026, 09:00 ET DALLAS and BELLEVUE, Wash. and NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Key Takeaways: * Industry veteran establishes leadership framework for joint venture (JV). * JV will help close coverage gaps by making satellite-enabled connectivity easier to deliver where traditional service is limited. * The JV is designed to complement terrestrial mobile networks, giving customers even more reliable connectivity and choice. * JV will support industry competition and innovation while allowing existing carrier-satellite agreements to remain in place. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have entered into a joint venture agreement focused on expanding coverage in underserved areas across the U.S. This follows a May announcement that the companies would pool limited spectrum resources to help eliminate coverage "dead zones" and expand satellite coverage for customers nationwide. Leadership Paul Roth will serve as interim CEO of the JV while an active search is underway for a permanent CEO. Roth is a seasoned wireless industry executive, who previously held several leadership roles at AT&T, Cingular Wireless, and Ameritech. The JV will be managed by a board with representatives from each founding member. Customer Benefits Terrestrial mobile networks will continue to deliver the high-quality experience customers expect every day. However, reliable connectivity has never been more important. In areas where traditional cell service is a challenge, the JV will aim to provide customers with stronger, even more reliable connectivity and greater choice. * Fewer coverage gaps: Will nearly eliminate dead zones in the U.S. currently without mobile service, reaching previously unserved areas. * Reliable connectivity in emergencies: Redundant connectivity will become available when existing ground-based networks are unavailable due to extreme natural disasters or other unusual disruptions. * Improved network performance: Will give customers more consistent performance and simpler access to satellite services across providers. This will speed up feature updates and improve connectivity for everyone, everywhere. * Innovative communications services: Through combined investment by the three JV partners, provider options will expand, and, as a first step, direct-to-device (D2D) access will improve. This will enhance competition as consumer choices grow in satellite service. Emerging communications technologies can be more easily and quickly developed and launched to enhance customer experience. * Common technical specifications: A unified approach will provide a better and more consistent customer experience across the industry. Industry Benefits The JV will aim to drive industry progress by enabling competition, fostering innovation, expanding access, and simplifying integration, delivering significant benefits for satellite and mobile connectivity. * Expanded access: More satellite service providers will gain opportunities to compete, invest, and grow and the JV will work with rural mobile network operators (MNO) to enable them to bring new products to market for their customers. * Easy technical integration: MNOs will be able to deploy innovative new services for customers more quickly. * Technology-neutral innovation platform: By applying the best technology solutions to the right use cases, connectivity will expand to areas across the country where coverage is currently limited or unavailable, further strengthening U.S. technology leadership. * Efficient use of spectrum: Will improve the application and utilization of valuable and scarce nationally licensed spectrum resources. * Industrywide device compatibility: User experience will improve on satellite networks, with a standards-based approach to development involving operating system providers, mobile app developers and original equipment manufacturers. Existing carrier-satellite agreements will remain in place and the JV partners can continue connectivity efforts independently.

AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon form joint venture to close wireless dead spots. [email protected] October 1, 2026 Key points. * AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have entered into a joint venture agreement aimed at expanding mobile and satellite coverage in underserved parts of the United States. * The venture will initially focus on improving direct-to-device satellite access in areas where traditional terrestrial mobile service is limited or unavailable. * Long-time wireless industry executive Paul Roth will serve as interim CEO while the venture searches for a permanent chief executive. The three major wireless networks in the United States have formed a new joint venture that is aimed at eliminating wireless network dead zones across the country. The move follows an announcement by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon in May to pool resources to help solve the problem of eliminating areas of the country where wireless service isn't available by pooling their spectrum licenses together to support voice and data delivery over satellite. The new joint venture, which doesn't yet have a name, will initially focus on improving direct-to-device satellite connectivity, giving customers another way to access mobile services outside the reach of conventional cellular networks. The companies said the arrangement could also provide redundant connectivity when terrestrial networks are disrupted by natural disasters and other emergencies. Paul Roth will serve as interim CEO while the companies search for a permanent chief executive. Roth previously held leadership positions at AT&T, Cingular Wireless and Ameritech. The venture will be overseen by a board with representatives from each of the three founding companies. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon also intend to develop common technical specifications for satellite-supported mobile services, which the companies say could simplify integration across wireless networks, devices, operating systems and applications. The venture will be technology-neutral and is intended to allow multiple satellite operators to compete to provide services. Rural mobile network operators will also be able to work with the venture to introduce satellite-supported products for their customers. The formation of the joint venture comes as some wireless companies - specifically, T-Mobile - have forged individual partnerships with satellite broadband providers to offer connectivity in parts of the country that land-based wireless networks currently do not reach. Some of those partnerships have ended, with companies like SpaceX increasingly looking at ways to launch their own broadband wireless networks to compete against the major three carriers at some point in the near future. The joint venture appears to be a way to hedge against a major satellite broadband player, like SpaceX, from entering the competitive land-based wireless space and eventually siphoning off customers from the major carriers.
US wireless carriers name Paul Roth interim CEO for satellite connectivity venture. By Thomson Reuters Oct 1, 2026 | 11:01 AM By David Shepardson WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have appointed wireless industry veteran Paul Roth as interim chief executive of their new joint venture aimed at expanding satellite-enabled mobile coverage, the companies said on Thursday. The largest U.S. wireless companies said the venture - first announced in May - seeks to expand coverage in underserved areas across the U.S and end nearly all dead zones without mobile service. The plan also aims to ensure redundant connectivity during natural disasters and improved network performance using so-called "direct to device" satellite technology. Some analysts also suggest the joint venture could be defensive, citing Elon Musk's SpaceX. SpaceX's ambition to build a full-fledged mobile service rattled investors in the U.S. wireless sector after the company in August outlined plans that could eventually pit Starlink against the three major U.S. telecoms. SpaceX acquired 65 megahertz of wireless spectrum from EchoStar for $19.6 billion through two deals announced last year, giving Starlink airwaves to expand into mobile services. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said in August the company will build the infrastructure needed to make Starlink "a true mobile service" and expects to win "quite a few" customers from the Big Three wireless carriers. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile have invested hundreds of billions of dollars over three decades to acquire spectrum licenses, build their networks, and attract and retain customers. FCC Chair Brendan Carr told Reuters earlier this year Starlink will have the ability on its own or in partnership with traditional carriers to address the dead zones. The FCC on Wednesday moved to release more spectrum to boost in-home satellite broadband. "Making next-gen satellite broadband faster and more reliable will not only benefit current subscribers, but also enhance competition for all consumers - putting downward pressure on prices in the home-internet marketplace," Carr said. Under its partnership with T-Mobile, SpaceX uses Starlink satellites to provide direct-to-cell connectivity for compatible smartphones outside traditional cell coverage.

AT&T CEO John Stankey has questioned SpaceX's strategy to compete with wireless carriers, calling plans to place cellular base stations alongside Starlink dishes "not a viable strategy". He cited cost concerns and permission requirements for transmitting cellular signals from private property. The comments came as AT&T announced a deal worth over $3 billion with Corning for fibre and cable. Stankey defended fibre's advantages over satellite technology for home broadband. His position supports AST SpaceMobile's partner-focused approach. AST's BlueBird satellites connect directly to standard smartphones through carrier partnerships, including AT&T and Verizon. The company reaffirmed revenue guidance of $150 million to $200 million and reported a $1.3 billion contracted backlog. AST is preparing for beta service with selected partners in 2026. AST SpaceMobile shares rose 0.4% overnight following Stankey's remarks.
