Chinese mobile operators cut operational emissions
The Chinese mobile operation industry recently reduced their operational emissions for the first time in 2024. However the volume of mobile data traffic has nearly quadrupled since 2019. As a whole the industry has begun taking actions to improve its energy efficiency and increased the use of renewables. Before the decline last year, previous analyses found regular annual increases in emissions in China, which rose 7 per cent between 2019 and 2023. Energy consumption grew 30 per cent since 2019 as data consumption soared with the nationwide rollout of 5G services, with the nation ending 2024 with just over 1 billion 5G connections. Steven Moore, head of climate action at the GSMA, stated the opportunity in China is enormous, as operators can propel the industry forward in its efforts towards net zero. 'A lot more needs to be done, and it is encouraging to see the mobile industry in Greater China making progress in this way', he noted. 'However, this first decrease is only realised if it goes further next year. We must double down and ensure we are doing everything we can as a global industry to halve emissions by 2030'. The Mobile Net Zero: Greater China report, released at the event, noted the drop in emissions comes as a growing number of mobile operators in the region are setting voluntary climate targets. Four operators in Asia Pacific have validated near-term science-based targets, while three have validated net zero targets. Several key suppliers also have committed to science-based targets and 2050 net zero targets. The annual Mobile Net Zero report found the mobile industry trimmed operational emissions by 8 per cent between 2019 and 2023 despite surging demand. Source: Reuters Image Credit: Stock Image

Why EchoStar Has Blasted 48% Higher This Week
Bloomberg reported that President Donald Trump wants the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and EchoStar, which owns spectrum licenses, to end their dispute and make a deal. The FCC is reviewing whether EchoStar is in federal compliance, which is crucial to the company's plan to build out a 5G internet network. EchoStar's spectrum licenses are very valuable and could be worth a lot more than the company's current market cap. 10 stocks we like better than EchoStar › Since last Friday, shares of the satellite television and wireless operator EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS) had blasted nearly 48% higher as of Thursday, a day in which the market is closed due to the observance of Juneteenth. The stock rocketed higher after media outlets reported that President Trump has encouraged the company and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make a deal and end their dispute. EchoStar owns several satellite, phone, and television companies, including Boost Mobile, HughesNet, Dish, and Sling. The company and its subsidiaries also own spectrum licenses, which grant it approval to use parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is critical for operating and providing various forms of wireless communications. Earlier this year, the FCC said they were investigating whether EchoStar is complying with the necessary federal laws to keep its spectrum licenses that it needs to build out its planned 5G internet service in the U.S. In response, EchoStar decided to not make interest payments on some of its bonds, which gave the company 30 additional days to make payments, in hopes the FCC would finish its review. These events led some to believe the company may ultimately default on the payments and enter bankruptcy. Trump's intervention and the administration's deregulatory approach has likely made some investors think a deal will be made. Bloomberg also reported earlier this week that FCC Chair Brendan Carr told EchoStar to sell some of its spectrum licenses or potentially lose them. UBS analyst John Hodulik said in a research report earlier this week that the spectrum licenses could be worth as much as $35 billion. The stock only trades at a roughly $7.2 billion market cap. There's also big upside if EchoStar ends up succeeding in building its wireless network. However, investors should keep in mind that regulatory battles like this are often unpredictable. This is a risky bet, so I wouldn't make it a core position. But if you want to take a chance, make sure you only invest what you can afford to lose.

Telecom industry AGR shows modest 1.7% rise in Q4 FY25
The telecom industry recorded a 1.7% sequential growth in adjusted gross revenue (AGR) in the last quarter of FY25, with the impact of last year's tariff increases waning. Vodafone Idea and Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) saw sequential declines in their mobile service revenues. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( Trai ) data showed for the January-March quarter, the AGR of the industry stood at ₹79,226 crore, a tad higher than ₹77,934 crore in the preceding quarter. Access or mobile services contributed 84.02% of the telecom industry AGR while the remaining amount came from national long distance (NLD), international long distance (ILD), internet service providers (ISPs), etc. In terms of access services, Reliance Jio has extended the gap with Bharti Airtel in terms of AGR growth. Jio's AGR climbed 3.2% to ₹29,464.7 crore in the Q4 from ₹28,542.8 crore in the preceding Q3. Airtel's AGR climbed about 1% to ₹26,324.2 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Swing Trading: Get Free Access to Mr. Hemant's Elite Strategy!

Jio breaks ranks with peers over 6 GHz waves for WiFi
The telecom industry, which was unanimously seeking the entire portion of 6 GHz spectrum for 5G services, is divided on the Centre's decision on delicensing, or allotting without auctions, the lower part of the band for Wi-Fi services. People aware of the details told ET that Reliance Jio , the country's top telecom operator, has reconciled its demands and joined the technology industry in seeking a higher power limit for Wi-Fi devices that can be used under the delicensed spectrum. Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) are, however, pushing the government for more deliberations and to form a committee before taking a final decision on spectrum delicensing, they added. The delicensing will pave the way for deployment of next-generation technologies such as WiFi 6E and 7 in India and is seen as a big win for tech companies such as Meta, Google, Amazon and Qualcomm, experts said. This was a key demand of the tech industry to meet surging bandwidth needs at affordable rates. While Jio too was initially against delicensing of the 6 GHz band, it has decided against opposing the government move as the same spectrum can be used for offering fixed wireless services (FWA) using equipment developed in-house. Airtel and Vi however currently do not possess such equipment. Jio, Airtel and Vi did not respond to queries. For the past few months, Jio has been using unlicensed band radio (UBR) equipment for providing 5G FWA services utilising the WiFi spectrum. If the Centre agrees to increase the power limits for 6 GHz, the spectrum can be used for FWA as well as WiFi services. The technology industry wants the power levels permitted for WiFi and other devices to be used under the 6 GHz spectrum band to be reviewed and aligned with global standards, so that users can get the best performances and devices remain affordable. As per experts, the current power levels proposed by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may limit the range and throughput of very low power devices. The DoT has proposed a maximum power spectral density (PSD) level of -5 dBm/MHz and total transmit power of 14 dBm for such devices. The tech industry wants it to be raised to 1 dBm/MHz for very low power indoor and outdoor devices, otherwise it could have a major impact on the performance of Wi-Fi advanced applications such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) collectively, which demand high throughput and latency performance. Experts say that if the power limits are not increased, it may not allow full utilisation of spectrum. They added that the 6 GHz band can offer data speeds of up to 9.6 gigabits per second (Gbps), against 1.3 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Over 84 countries, including the US, UK and South Korea, have already delicensed the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi services.
