T-Mobile US shares could be worth about $226.72 in three years, against $157.03 at the October 15, 2026 close, according to a Trefis scenario. That would be a 44.4% gain before dividends and return the stock to its highest close of the past year. The stock fell 30.1% over the year to October 15, 2026, dividends included, while the S&P 500 gained 17.9%. It trades at 16.2 times earnings, below its 21.9 average over the last twelve fiscal quarter-ends. The scenario assumes revenue rises from $92.2 billion to $117 billion, and earnings from $10.6 billion to $13.6 billion. Higher sales would drive 64.6% of the gain; a higher price-to-earnings ratio would account for most of the rest. Revenue grew 9.7% in the twelve months to June 2026. Postpaid service revenue rose 13% in fiscal Q2 2026.
Verizon CTO: 6G needs a breakthrough for AI uplink demand. Verizon CTO Yago Tenorio says industry is 'missing a breakthrough' in 6G for uplink capacity as future AI applications change network traffic patterns. October 14, 2026 The expectation that AI is going to reverse decades of wireless traffic patterns with devices sending more data back to the network has sparked a rethink on uplink capacity for 6G. As the standards take shape, Verizon hopes new ideas will address what could be a capacity crunch for AI-fueled data uploads. Mobile networks are designed to deliver faster download speeds by dedicating as much bandwidth as possible to downstream connections to users and far less for upstream data coming from the other direction. Typical downlink-to-uplink ratios are 9:1 or 8:2. But AI could change all that. Verizon envisions AI usage shifting from transactional prompts and answers to future applications needing "continuous contextual awareness" that would drive the downlink-uplink ratio to be more like 1:1. Speaking at RCR Wireless' 6G Forum, Verizon chief technology officer Yago Tenorio described the scenario as a device would send information about a user's reality through sensing, video or audio on a real-time, continuous basis to "your AI agent of choice" in the cloud or network edge. But sometimes those devices will be AI wearables, like smart glasses, that are limited by size, power, heat dissipation and how many antennas can realistically be added. "Everything puts pressure on the uplink. You need more capacity, but the device is less capable," said Tenorio. He noted there are some techniques that can help, pointing to "sub-band full duplex" as an example among others. While confident the industry can come up with other ideas, his comments suggest some bigger thinking is needed to avoid an "uplink crisis." "We're missing a breakthrough that will probably have to go all the way down to the architecture...There is a very real uplink demand that I don't think we can satisfy just with incremental improvement," he said. Time to think about decoupling? For one of the concepts being discussed, he posed, "Can we think of a full decoupling of uplink and downlink? And a deployment that is much more pervasive of uplink receivers everywhere that are listening and are close to the customer...reducing and relieving the uplink for the device?" "It's just an example. Maybe it's not needed. Maybe it's not practical. We'll see about it," he added. The decoupling idea is that different frequency bands can be used for downlink or uplink, according to a recent Ericsson blog. For example, midband spectrum for downstream and perhaps lowband for upstream. Rather than assigning portions of the same band to uplink and downlink, decoupling is like giving them each their own "highway," Akhil Gokul, VP, head of technology at Ericsson, told Light Reading earlier this year at Network X Americas. T-Mobile is looking into uplink/downlink decoupling as an upcoming 6G feature. At Network X in Dallas, Egil Grönstad, senior director of technology development and strategy, said of the concept that "you can have more flexibility on how you're pairing spectrum that I think will be very helpful, where we can select whatever is the best spectrum, downlink versus uplink, so it's not that fixed ratio." He also said it might be worth examining whether it is possible to use unlicensed spectrum as a way "to get more uplink capacity, especially for fixed applications," such as fixed wireless or use cases like camera monitoring. In its 5G-Advanced network, T-Mobile has been rolling out features to boost uplink, including uplink carrier aggregation, uplink MIMO and transmit switching. Verizon is also working on 5G uplink. A test by Signals Research Group of Verizon's 5G standalone network, where it had implemented Ericsson's 32T32R massive MIMO radios, showed marked uplink improvement. Meanwhile, AT&T indicated that adding upstream capacity was part of the reasoning behind acquiring EchoStar's 600MHz lowband spectrum. The carrier plans to deploy Ericsson's dual-band 600MHz radios that feature "uplink-enhancing 8RX [i.e., eight receiver] technology," which was said to be a first for lowbands. Building 6G up from the use case. For Verizon's Tenorio, uplink is part of the equation for enabling future services. The carrier is determined that with this generation, unlike 5G, the use cases should come first rather than the technical capabilities. "We have the opportunity to design 6G with use cases in mind...as opposed to just specify it from speed and latency and performance, and then hoping that the use cases will make use of it," he said. The carrier expanded its 6G Innovation Forum last month with nine new members and highlighted trials with integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and AI wearables, aimed at pinning down requirements for use cases. "What we have in front of us is a lot of questions that we need to ask and we need to find answers for. We have the opportunity to shape 6G so that it hits the ground running, and it enables use cases that are going to be the successful ones and the ones that we can monetize as an industry and the ones that add value...We have precious two years in front of us," he said.

Internet Provider Satisfaction now goes beyond network quality. T-Mobile, Verizon, GFiber (Google Fiber) and AT&T Rank Highest in Respective Segments 8 October 2026 * Wireless Internet continues to outperform wired internet in customer satisfaction * Digital tools are driving improvements in both wired and wireless internet satisfaction * Wired internet value for price paid satisfaction continues to increase TROY, Mich.: October 8, 2026 - Reliable connectivity is now a baseline expectation rather than a defining competitive advantage for residential internet providers, according to the JD Power 2026 U.S. Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study.(SM) Wireless internet service continues to lead wired internet in overall satisfaction, 645 to 560 on a 1,000-point scale, but the gap narrowed by 8 points in 2026, as wired providers improved customers' ratings of digital tools and value for price paid. "The wired internet market appears to be entering a new phase of competition," said Carl Lepper, senior director of the TMT and Utilities Practice at JD Power. "Stable internet service is no longer a differentiator. It's a basic expectation. What increasingly separates providers is their ability to deliver value, build trust, and create seamless digital experiences. This year's study shows wired providers continue to close the satisfaction gap with wireless, driven by improvements in value and digital tools. At the same time, wireless providers maintain an advantage by delivering a simpler customer experience and stronger perceptions of affordability." The following are additional findings of the study: * Wireless leads in value: 2026 data shows 70% of wireless customers agree their plan is affordable, compared to 55% of wired internet customers. The average monthly cost for wired internet remains $84, while wireless internet has increased to $77. * Digital tool satisfaction gap: More than 80% of customers resolved issues without any challenges on provider websites and satisfaction for these wireless customers is 710 versus 625 for wired. When complications arose during the resolution process, wireless satisfaction dropped 96 points to 614, while wired satisfaction fell 167 points to 458, underscoring that digital tool reliability is imperative. * App problem resolution reigns supreme: App usage for problem resolution remains low, with only 28% of wired and 38% of wireless using the app and 37% using phone support. Study data shows that 85% of wired and 90% of wireless internet customers using the app resolve their issue on first contact, compared with over 67% and 69% respectively, for phone support, highlighting the app's potential. Internet providers must do more to drive customers toward the more effective digital channel. Study rankings. T-Mobile ranks highest in the national wireless internet segment for a 3rd consecutive year, with a score of 659. The segment average is 645. Verizon ranks highest in the wired internet - east region for a 14th consecutive year, with a score of 592. Cox Communications (549) ranks second, followed by Frontier Communications (542). AT&T ranks highest in the wired internet - north central region for a 4th consecutive year, with a score of 578. Xfinity (558) ranks second. The segment average is 553. GFiber (Google Fiber) ranks highest in the wired internet - south region for a 4th consecutive year, with a score of 707. AT&T (611) ranks second and Frontier Communications (604) ranks third. AT&T ranks highest in the wired internet - west region for a 5th consecutive year, with a score of 595. Frontier Communications (567) ranks second and CenturyLink and Spectrum (545) rank third in a tie. The 2026 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 31,548 customers that currently have internet service with a provider included in the study. The study measures overall satisfaction with internet service providers based on seven dimensions: consistently delivering high-quality service; value for price paid; ease of doing business; level of trust with provider; people; digital tools; and resolving problems or complaints. The study was fielded from August 2025 through August 2026. About JD Power.
