Telecom Intelligence: Week of April 6, 2026 A week where the future of wireless distribution and the future of spectrum policy both moved. US Mobile, the multi-network MVNO, teased and then launched a bundle with Starlink that pairs satellite home internet with unlimited mobile service for under $50 a month, a pairing no national carrier currently offers. At the FCC, the agency opened public comment on Qualcomm's petition to create a new device-to-device service called Sidelink, and the clock ran out on upfront payments for Auction 113, the AWS-3 auction that will put fresh mid-band spectrum on the block in June. Quiet on the surface, but each story points at where the industry's center of gravity is shifting.
