T-Mobile Super Broadband, Fiber Acquisitions, Tech Earnings, and Satellite D2D Trends | 6G Podcast Ep. 249 In episode 249 of the 6G Podcast, analysts Anshel Sag and Mike Dano discuss convergence across 5G, fiber, and satellite. They cover T-Mobile’s “Super Broadband,” which bundles 5G with SpaceX Starlink for primary, backup, or load-balanced connectivity using equipment from Ericsson and Inseego, with a $249/month packaged offering. They also review T-Mobile’s moves to expand its fiber footprint through agreements involving regional providers (GoNetSpeed, GreenLight Networks, and i3 Broadband), related pricing changes, and how bundled wireline/wireless can boost market share, alongside speculation about larger M&A. The hosts recap major tech earnings (Google, Microsoft, Meta, Qualcomm, Apple), AI-driven CapEx and memory constraints, preview WIA Connect X with an Ookla analysis of Miami’s busiest cell tower near the airport, discuss Nokia selling its FWA CPE business to Inseego, and note low direct-to-device satellite usage plus US carriers rejecting a Starlink MVNO. 00:00 Welcome and Catch Up 02:08 T-Mobile Super Broadband 07:51 Fiber Expansion and Convergence 14:11 Big Tech…
