Why does it appear that things come in 3's? In my past two posts, Comcast is profiting in wireless, TMO was offering 'white label wireless' services, and now TMO is pursuing an investment in Metronet to expand into broadband and fixed wireless. Seems like the grass is always greener on the other side! But, truthfully, the big dogs need to expand outside their normal comfort markets. They see saturation coming in what they currently do, and problems with their current business models. We see it now with change-ups in inbuilding coverage investments (i.e., very few and very selective). See below:

Laurent Therivel, CEO of UScellular, shared the three key federal actions he thinks are needed to improve U.S. telecommunications: 1. Expand Licensed Spectrum: Increase the availability of licensed, full-power spectrum and restore the FCC's authority to auction this resource to enhance VoIP service reliability. 2. Unified Innovation Strategy: Implement a government-wide approach to innovation to streamline and maximize technological advancements. 3. Strategic Infrastructure Funding: Better align the billions allocated for infrastructure to efficiently bridge the digital divide, enhancing telecommunications and VoIP services across the nation.

Are you a visual learner? I am. I prefer to see things clearly laid out. Unfortunately, that’s typically not the case with telecom billing, especially with AT&T. In this video, I share a SIMPLE and EASY way to view your invoice summary for your AT&T accounts. This summary breaks out different charges, discounts, and fees associated with your account. In addition, it gives you an overview of what you’ve been paying for the past 18 months. It’s a VERY helpful tool for monitoring how much you’re paying and keeping track of fluctuations that may indicate inaccuracies. Check it out and give this post a 👍 if it’s helpful. #telecombilling #telecomcosts #attbusinesscenter

C-suite leaders are always looking for ways to maximize efficiency and reduce expenses. When it comes to telecom expenses, thorough audits may uncover significant savings. But does your team have what it takes to tackle it themselves, or is it worth hiring an expert? Here's what you should know before going DIY: 📍Expertise and Experience: Telecom auditing requires a deep understanding of contracts, tariffs, and billing structures from carriers. Does your team have the specialized knowledge to identify errors? Professional auditors also understand how to work with carriers to ensure back credits are paid and corrections are made once and for all. ⏰ Time and Resources: A comprehensive telecom audit is time-consuming. Assess if your team has time for an audit without compromising their daily responsibilities. 🧑‍💻 Access to Tools and Technology: Professional auditing firms use advanced software to analyze telecom data. Does your team have access to these resources? 🧑‍💻 Objective Perspective: An external auditor brings an unbiased view, which can be crucial to finding overlooked opportunities for savings. 💰 Cost vs. Savings: Weigh the cost of hiring a professional auditor against the potential savings they can uncover. Often, the ROI of professional audits justifies the initial expense. Before deciding to go DIY, examine your team’s resources and abilities to determine if they’re up to the task. Oftentimes, hiring a professional can lead to greater long-term savings. #TelecomAudit #CostSavings
