Subject: T-Mobile US initiates network exec changes
By Dan Meyer
Long-time T-Mobile US technology executive Neville Ray has started his
retirement transition out of the carrier, moving from a direct
executive position to an advisory role to CEO Mike Sievert. The
carrier is also losing EVP and CTO Abdul Saad.
In a post on his LinkedIn account, Ray wrote he has taken on a new
role as president and strategic network advisor to Sievert. The move
was expected as Ray initially announced plans to retire in
mid-February.

Subject: Is Mint Mobile still worth it with T-Mobile taking over?
By Philip Michaels
Mint Mobile would like to be known for two things: those ubiquitous
ads starring Ryan Reynolds that routinely pop up on the internet and
streaming services, and its low monthly rates for wireless
service. It's probably less interested in being known as the discount
carrier that's in the process of getting snapped up by T-Mobile,
particularly if that purchase puts an end to its run as one of the
better values among phone carriers.
Both Mint and T-Mobile have said that's not going to happen. When the
$1.35 billion acquisition was announced, the companies took great
pains to stress that little was changing with Mint's wireless
offerings. In fact, since Mint already used T-Mobile's network to
provide its service — Mint's a mobile virtual network operator, or
MVNO — the transition figured to be a lot smoother than the
T-Mobile-Sprint merger from a few years back.

Subject: Verizon’s Most Highly Compensated Executives In 2022
By Gina Narcisi
Four of the five most highly compensated Verizon executives have
undergone a job role or title change in the last few months. That’s
because the carrier giant has recently unveiled a slew of senior
leadership changes as Verizon continues to work to transform its
business.
Under the leadership of CEO Hans Vestberg, Verizon over the last five
years has been working hard to double down on its telecom roots and
grow the business in new areas of connectivity. Namely, it’s betting
big on 5G. The carrier in October also created a new global services
organization aimed at streamlining shared services teams to free up
more capital for the carrier to invest in its core networking and
telecom services. It’s called the Verizon Global Services (VGS)
organization and it’s responsible for most shared services teams
within the company, including Real Estate, Sourcing, Supply Chain,
Fleet, Finance Operations, Global Technology Solutions, Reporting and
Insights, Learning and Development, Public Policy and Information
Security.
