NVIDIA said T-Mobile US completed what it called the world's first AI-RAN call on a commercial mobile network, in Bellevue, Washington, with Nokia, using NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer servers and an existing 5G standalone core. Other operators are moving in the same direction: BT plans live trials in Birmingham in 2027, Deutsche Telekom is preparing field trials, and Elisa ran voice, data and video analytics on one ARC platform in what Nokia and NVIDIA called Europe's first AI-RAN field trial. According to NVIDIA, nine operators across Europe, the Middle East and Africa are developing or expanding infrastructure based on its technology. NVIDIA also unveiled MGX 2U and MGX 4U configurations using RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs, with Dell, Quanta Cloud Technology and Supermicro expected to offer servers. Nemotron models are being integrated into Nokia's and Cisco's network software and adopted by TCS, BT and NTT DATA to build telecom AI agents.

- Yes, You're Probably Paying More for Phone Service. Here's Where Your Money Is Going
T-Mobile raised its Regulatory Programs and Telco Recovery fees effective Oct. 12, with voice lines now paying $5.49 a month instead of $4.49 and mobile internet lines paying $2.60 instead of $2.10. The big three US carriers, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, have all added similar fee increases over roughly the past year and a half, and these add-on charges are not covered by multi-year price guarantees on the plan itself. Analyst Roger Entner argues that spreading out small increases is a poor strategy, though he says modest hikes rarely prompt customers to switch carriers. Carriers have also raised prices on legacy plans and moved some T-Mobile customers to new plans with increases of up to $6 per line, while price guarantees have become less common.
- Nvidia's Jensen Huang Sees 100GW AI Opportunity In Telecom Networks, With TMUS, NOK Already Making Moves
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told GTC Berlin that telecom networks are becoming a new layer of AI infrastructure, as distributed cell sites and data centers could run AI workloads closer to users. He envisions 100,000 sites representing some 100 gigawatts of base stations and data centers evolving into a distributed AI network. Huang said Nvidia and Nokia completed the first commercial phone call on T-Mobile's network after nearly eight years of work, and that nearly 20 operators have announced AI-RAN collaborations with commercial services targeted for 2027. In pre-market trade, NVDA rose as much as 1.7% and NOK gained 3.5%, while TMUS slid around 3% amid telecom sector weakness after SpaceX earnings. Bernstein cut its T-Mobile target to $180 from $220, citing pressure from SpaceX's plan to turn Starlink into a major U.S. mobile carrier.
- SMCI Teams Up With Nokia, Nvidia To Bring AI Computing To 5G Networks — Eyes AI-Native 6G Expansion
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is working with Nokia (NOK) and Nvidia (NVDA) to bring AI computing to 5G networks, letting telecom operators run AI services closer to customers while preparing for 6G, though no customer contracts or revenue expectations were disclosed. Its preliminary update estimated first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue at $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, up from prior guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, and lifted its gross margin range to 12% to 12.5% on AI platform demand and product mix. Rosenblatt raised its price target to $57 and kept a Buy rating, while Bank of America lifted its target to $38 but kept an Underperform rating, citing AI server pricing pressure and lower margins on large deals. The preliminary figures are unaudited and subject to revision, with finalized results due November 3.
- Elisa taps NVIDIA and Nokia for its journey towards commercial AI-RAN in Finland
Elisa, working with NVIDIA and Nokia, has completed Europe's first live-network AI-RAN trials and plans to bring AI-RAN into a commercial network in 2027. In Helsinki, the company ran voice, mobile data and video analytics at the same time on one AI-RAN platform over its 5G Advanced network, letting the same computers that run the mobile network also run AI workloads closer to users. The setup is meant to support services such as voice assistants, on-site video analysis to spot safety risks, and autonomous AI agents that monitor and optimize network operations. Elisa's COO said the work lays the groundwork for AI-native 6G networks, while NVIDIA said the approach brings intelligence to where data is generated.

- What Is a Bitcoin-Backed Loan? Borrowing Against BTC Explained
The article explains that Bitcoin-backed loans let holders pledge BTC as collateral to borrow dollars or stablecoins, keeping their Bitcoin exposure and often avoiding a taxable sale, though rules vary by jurisdiction. Loan-to-value ratios typically range from about 30% to 70%, and borrowers face margin calls or liquidation if Bitcoin's price falls sharply. Lenders are either centralized companies such as Ledn, Strike, Unchained, Nexo and Coinbase, or DeFi protocols such as Aave and Morpho. The market has returned in a more cautious form since Celsius and BlockFi went bankrupt in 2022, with published rates still running from about 5.8% to 14%. Galaxy Research put total crypto-backed loan volume at $56.16 billion in Q2 2026, down 16.8% from the previous quarter.
- How Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russia crippled the world’s second largest diesel supplier
Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia on Sunday, setting ablaze an oil export terminal in St. Petersburg. According to Kpler, Russia's diesel exports fell more than 75% to 141,000 barrels per day in September from 608,000 a year earlier, as strikes on refineries and oil infrastructure rose to 31 in July from 11 in January. Kpler's Matt Smith said Trump's deal to boost Russian diesel exports is unlikely to work without an energy ceasefire. The national average diesel price reached $6.32 per gallon, nearly 75% above a year earlier according to AAA, while Middle East disruptions have cut global diesel exports by about 1 million barrels per day. The International Energy Agency expects diesel supplies to stay constrained well into 2027.
- AMD vs. Nvidia. 1 Metric Proves Which Is the Best Stock.

AMD's data center revenue rose 107% to $6.7 billion in Q2 and total revenue grew 50% to $11.5 billion, while Nvidia's data center business grew 117% to $89 billion and total revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion. If both companies hit next year's earnings projections, Nvidia would trade at 13 times earnings versus 33.5 times for AMD, which the author sees as a large premium. AMD reports Q3 results on Nov. 3.
- Meet the Vanguard ETF That Just Bought SpaceX for the 4th Consecutive Month
The Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX) has added SpaceX shares every month since the company's June 12, 2026 IPO, lifting its holdings to 1,209,387 shares as of Sept. 30 from 632,077 on June 30. SpaceX is now the fund's seventh-largest holding, while major Vanguard market and growth ETFs have barely increased their holdings since June. The float is limited: about 2.3 billion shares have unlocked, or 17.5% of SpaceX's 13.18 billion outstanding shares, so its float-adjusted weight remains below what its $1.93 trillion market cap would imply. As more shares unlock, the article notes, SpaceX's float-adjusted weight should increase. Alphabet and Meta Platforms make up 47% of the fund.
