Subject: What's Happening to the Telecom Trust?
By David Rosen
Well, the telecom media rollercoaster is once again rolling. On May
17th, AT&T announced that it was spinning off its WarnerMedia
subsidiary that includes HBO and Warner Bros. for $5 billion and
merging it with Discovery. This followed the May 3rd announcement
that Verizon was selling off its media holdings, AOL and Yahoo, for
$43 billion. Nevertheless, Comcast still owns NBC-Universal. What's
going on?

Subject: AT&T, Verizon push free iPhones for long-term customers
The Wall Street Journal
The wireless contract is staging a comeback.
U.S. cellphone carriers are offering their most generous discounts in
years, handing some customers brand-new devices for no money down or
small monthly payments stretched over many months. The discounts from
AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and T-Mobile US Inc. require
customers to make long-term commitments that give carriers the
stability they need to reassure investors as they increase spending on
5G network upgrades.
