Episode description

Analysts Don Kellogg and Roger Entner discuss Verizon's recent wireless plan updates, as

well as Nvidia's acquisition of spectrum to test Open RAN.

00:25 Verizon's new plan updates may reduce churn

02:11 Prepaid and retail struggles continue

04:03 Verizon's overall strategy

04:28 Nvidia's spectrum acquisition and Open RAN predictions

Note: “Roger erroneously added that OpenRAN efforts only began to stabilize once Dish Network brought on established open RAN vendor Samsung, “which took over a lot of that stack.”” Mavenir continues to play a significant role in Dish’s 5G Open RAN network.
