Hong Kong’s Communications Authority has consented to SmarTone ending 3G service on 9 October 2026. The affected share is described as very low, while more than 99% of Hong Kong mobile users already use 4G or 5G; neither statement removes the operator’s duty to support the…

PG&E says prospective data-centre projects in its service area now exceed 12 GW. Its estimate that each additional 1 GW could cut monthly customer bills by 1% or more depends on “appropriate pricing”—the condition that decides whether new load shares grid costs or transfers them.

T-Mobile US added 277,000 postpaid accounts in the second quarter, 13% fewer than a year earlier, but monthly postpaid revenue per account rose 2% to $152.91. The company’s raised cash guidance therefore rests more on monetising a larger relationship than on accelerating the…
