T-Mobile's new personalized ad program is invasive - and common.
By Sara Morrison
T-Mobile raised a few eyebrows -- and got some unflattering press
attention -- when the Wall Street Journal reported on its new
privacy-invasive ad program. Beginning April 26, T-Mobile says it will
use its customers' web browsing and app usage data to sell targeted
ads unless those customers opt out.

Subject: AT&T to spend less than Verizon on C-band 5G rollout
by Mary Lennighan
AT&T will not match rival Verizon's monster spend on the rollout of 5G
infrastructure using its recently-acquired C-band spectrum.
The US operator has earmarked capex of between $6 billion and $8
billion over the next three-to-four years for C-band rollout, which is
at least $2 billion less than the figure Verizon shared at its
investor day last week. Furthermore, while Verizon was talking about
incremental spend, AT&T says the sum is already factored into its
forecasts.

Subject: AT&T Cops to 'Third Place,' Trims Outlook for 5G Mid-Band
By Matt Kapko
AT&T executives copped to its mobile realities, but the carrier's
mid-band 5G strategy pales in comparison to T-Mobile US and
Verizon. "We are the third-place player in wireless," AT&T
Communications CEO Jeff McElfresh said during the operator's analyst
event today.
"I want to be very transparent with that. We find ourselves not as the
share leader, and it has been many years since we've actually grown
our wireless premium postpaid business," he said.
