Verizon is named in an idea for earning money from tower-based detection, but no plan, timing, or income estimate is reported. That income could replace internet fees, so the story does not change its outlook.
For Verizon, this idea could bring payments for information gathered by its towers. But the same idea could let operators stop charging for internet. Dolan gave no timeline or sales estimate, and the story reports no Verizon plan.
AT&T and Ericsson demonstrated 5G equipment tracking drones, showing one possible use for its network. The story gives no expected income and says such services could eventually replace internet fees.
T-Mobile's technology chief said future 6G towers may create new business. Its $19.4 billion in quarterly service revenue covers more than internet access, and Dolan gave no date or income estimate for a change.
