Mavenir opens Open RAN centre in UK Orange settles in 2021 but still has pain in Spain Decent starts to the year for two major telcos and yet another Open RAN R&D facility in the UK are the news frontrunners today. AT&T has added to the positive service provider news from the US major operators by reporting a 2.7% year-on-year increase in first quarter revenues to $43.9 billion. “We continued to excel in growing customer relationships in our market focus areas of mobility, fiber and HBO Max,” noted CEO John Stankey. “We had another strong quarter of postpaid phone net adds, higher gross adds, lower churn and good growth in Mobility EBITDA. We also continue to increase penetration in markets where we offer fiber broadband and we’re moving quickly to deploy more fiber. HBO Max continued to deliver strong subscriber and revenue growth in advance of our international and AVOD launches planned for June.” Yesterday Verizon reported a 4% increase in first quarter sales.
