Subject: Germany's DT poised to gain majority control over T-Mobile
in US
By Mike Dano - 7/18/2022
Deutsche Telekom (DT) stands to gain around $10.9 billion from the
recent sale of a stake in its European cell tower business. The
company is widely expected to use that money to gain a majority stake
in T-Mobile in the US.
"Deutsche Telekom has been steadily increasing its stake in T-Mobile
US and currently sits at ~48% ownership," noted the financial analysts
at Raymond James in a recent note to investors. "With the capital
received from the GD Towers deal [DT] should be well on the path to
taking majority control of T-Mobile via the shares sale agreement with
SoftBank. And we do not expect DT to sell any T-Mobile shares when
T-Mobile US begins its stock buyback program by 2023."

Subject: Campaigns may have lost their most effective - and annoying
- outreach tool
Texting voters just got harder, right before the midterms.
By Rachel M. Cohen - Jul 19, 2022
Text messaging - with their markedly high "open rates" - is an
especially potent form of political outreach: Since 2016, texting has
become one of the most appealing ways for campaigns to engage voters
or supporters, especially as so many have ditched their landlines.
But as part of a broader effort to crack down on the fast-growing
problem of spam calls and texts, mobile carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile,
and Verizon have been rolling out a new policy that affects any
business, nonprofit, union, or campaign that intends to send at least
3,000 messages per day.

Subject: Maine opens T-Mobile investigation as state low on numbers
By Associated Press - Maine - July 14, 2022
HALLOWELL, Maine (AP) - Utility regulators in Maine are opening an
investigation into the numbering practices of wireless giant T-Mobile
as the state runs out of available phone numbers within its sole area
code.
The Maine Public Utilities Commission has said the 207 area code is
predicted to run out in the final quarter of 2025. Commission Chair
Philip Bartlett said Wednesday the T-Mobile investigation is part of
the state's effort to extend the life of the area code as long as
possible.
