It's devastating to see the damage caused by the California wildfires. T-Mobile is doing everything we can to help affected communities and first responders stay connected. Here are a few updates:  🔘 T-Mobile and Starlink opened up our T-Mobile Starlink Direct-to-Cellular service in impacted areas, delivering wireless emergency alerts, SMS, and enabling 911 texting, even without commercial power.  🔘 We’ve restored over half of the sites affected by power loss and are working to support the rest with portable generators.  🔘 We are collaborating with federal, state, and local officials to ensure critical connectivity, including deploying Wi-Fi routers at key locations.  Additional details on community support can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gnpXud6B

"The age-old wisdom of a Native American proverb, “You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep”, resonates strongly with the current malaise pervading the telecoms industry. It is a fitting metaphor for the industry’s collective denial of its own flawed 5G gambits, which is costing it dearly in capital and, more deeply, compromising its long-term viability." Credit: Luke Kehoe, "5G: telcoms’ denial of its flaws and failures is costing them dearly" Short term the industry needs to get back to basics - customers, efficiency, 101 running a good business Long term... #6G cannot be the next #5G https://lnkd.in/eQDy-vj6

Are All Alnets Losing Money? The broadband market is in a challenging place, and the numbers paint a bleak picture for networks like Alnets and their retail ISPs. Despite growth in connections, financial sustainability remains elusive. At 100,000 active connections, with monthly growth of 5,000 new customers, the outlook initially looks promising. However, churn though reduced to 3% means 3,000 customers are lost every month, leaving little net growth. The financials expose the scale of the challenge: Monthly revenue £2.5 million (ARPU of £25). Wholesale costs £1.5 million (£15 per user). Customer acquisition £750,000 to replace churned customers at a £250 CPA. Staffing costs £875,000 for 250 staff on £40,000 annual salaries. Total monthly costs £3.13 million Total monthly revenue £2.5 million This results in a monthly loss of £630,000 a figure that cannot be ignored. For investors, this raises serious questions about the profitability of scaling broadband networks. Despite adding thousands of new connections, margins are razor-thin, churn remains costly, and operating expenses particularly wholesale costs and acquisition consume revenue faster than it can grow. It’s worth noting that while some networks achieve a lower CPA, in many cases, the true cost of acquisition is much higher upwards of £400 once CPE (routers), installation costs, and external agency fees are factored in. This only deepens the financial strain. If Alnets and similar networks are struggling to find profitability at 100,000 connections, the question must be asked: How bleak is the future for networks striving to scale in this market? Is it better to stop sales activity for 18 months, concentrating on upselling to current base and keeping churn as low as possible? #Telecoms #BroadbandMarket #InvestorChallenges #FinancialOutlook #IndustryAnalysis

We delivered another solid quarter of financial and operational results, thanks to the builders of Gigabit America. Here are a few highlights: 🎯 We passed a record number of homes and businesses with fiber. 👋 We grew fiber broadband customers by double digits – proving that we have the very best product in the market. 🌐 We grew ARPU because our customers are increasingly choosing Gig speeds and value-added services – like YouTube TV and whole-home WiFi – to enhance their internet experience. 💗 We continued to lead the industry in customer satisfaction. Our NPS scores are the highest of any fixed internet provider and 6X higher than our nearest legacy cable competitor. 📈 We hit our second quarter in a row of revenue growth, which positions us to deliver full-year revenue growth in 2024. I'm proud of what we've achieved and confident in the power of our fiber technology to transform lives, communities and the way we connect.

Post 6: Introducing the Channel 2.0 Methodology™   The Channel as we used to know it is gone. Channel 2.0 is forming and many of us need to evolve to the changes it brings in order to stay relevant and to find continued success. The Channel 2.0 Methodology™ was created to help suppliers take control of their channel investments. By pairing it with a robust CRM structure, suppliers can pinpoint the activities that yield the best ROI. With accurate reporting, they can hold teams accountable, making MDF programs more impactful and transparent.   While TSDs have endorsed this approach and suppliers are already seeing wins, it’s just the beginning of a movement to unlock Channel 2.0. Just as it takes all of us to succeed, it’ll take all of us to usher in the next iteration of the channel. Einstein said it best—doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is insanity. As a channel, we need to try something new. If it doesn’t work, we analyze, redesign, and try again.   Channel 2.0 Methodology and a CRM structure are only the start, and we need the best minds in the industry to refine this model into a gold standard for everyone. Look for our final call to action in Post 7.   Want to know more about the Channel 2.0 Methodology™? Visit The Channel Advisors website, click on "Education" and look for our training in the "All Products" section.
