Subject: T-Mobile To Start Charging Its Customers An Outrageous New Fee
By Jennifer Hollohan
T-Mobile customers may be getting some bad news soon. Internet rumors
are circulating that the carrier will be implementing a new fee. And
it's not a small one.
The service provided has worked hard to set itself apart from
competitors like Verizon and AT&T in recent years. And it has done a
relatively good job at it. Its customer numbers have steadily
increased due to its efforts.

Subject: Why I Switched My Home Internet Back to Spectrum After Using 5G
Commentary: Remote surgery or driverless cars isn't 5G's "killer app."
Right now, the most compelling 5G benefit is that it's finally giving
cable companies a fight.
By Eli Blumenthal
Over the last five years there has been, and to an extent continues to
be, plenty of hype about what 5G will do. Driverless cars, remote
surgery, the metaverse -- all buzzwords that have yet to materialize
in any real way.
One area where it has noticeably helped change our lives? It finally
provides some long-overdue competition to cable companies for home
broadband. I've been exploring whether 5G and technologies like it
(known as "fixed wireless") could replace traditional home broadband
over the past year, testing out midband solutions from Verizon and
T-Mobile, as well as millimeter-wave options like Honest Networks.

Subject: T-Mobile Made A Smart Suitcase And It's Actually Pretty Cool
By Rahul Srinivas
T-Mobile is certainly not the first name that comes up in our minds
when we think of trolleys, suitcases, and travel luggage in
general. Which is exactly why we were left bewildered after receiving
an interesting little press release from the carrier announcing the
launch of its newest product -- a carry-on bag. T-Mobile calls its
latest product -- made in collaboration with luggage expert Samsara --
the Un-Carrier On. Besides sporting T-Mobile's instantly recognizable
Magenta color, the Un-Carrier On is undoubtedly among the most
feature-loaded carry-on bags money can buy if we are to believe
T-Mobile's claims.

Subject: Hey T-Mobile, nobody wants your suitcase
The 'Un-carrier On' is smart, silly and expensive.
By J. Fingas
Have you ever wanted to use your luggage as a workstation? No? Don't
tell T-Mobile that, then. The provider and Samsara have unveiled a
smart carry-on suitcase, the "Un-carrier On" (sorry about the pun),
whose stand-out feature is the ability to double as a desk. Like a
handful of other bag makers, T-Mobile thinks you'll rest your laptop
on your baggage while you finish a must-send work email. That strikes
us as potentially uncomfortable if the case sits on your lap,
especially if you have to stare at T-Mobile's eye-searing magenta --
did we mention that's the only color option?
