With major mobile carriers competing in the internet market, Comcast has a leg up over other cable providers, according to a new S & P Global report.
While the cable industry at large has lost customers to wireless carriers that have invested in fixed wireless access service, Philadelphia-based Comcast, as well as Connecticut-based Charter Communications, are “better positioned than other cable providers to benefit from their wholesale wireless agreement with Verizon and its high-quality network,” according to S & P.
The report, “Cable Industry Intertwining With Wireless,” includes analysis by S&P Global Ratings analyst Chris Mooney, who notes that Comcast’s smaller cable competitors don’t have the same resources to develop strong wireless service.
Verizon and T-Mobile have been rolling out fixed wireless access service (FWA), using the same 5G or 4G LTE technology that powers your smartphone to provide internet service via radio waves instead of cables. These plans can be cheaper and are more often available in rural areas where there are few, if any, other internet options.
It poses a real threat to cable companies that provide internet: Verizon and T-Mobile have said they expect to have 11 million to 13 million FWA subscribers by the end of next year, with T-Mobile recently surpassing 5 million and Verizon surpassing 3 million. In the first quarter of this year, Verizon brought in $452 million in revenue from fixed wireless, a jump of $197 million compared to the same period last year. AT&T also jumped into the ring in August, unveiling its own FWA product, AT&T Air, which added 110,000 new subscribers in the first quarter.
To keep up, cable companies such as Comcast are bundling their wireless offerings with in-home broadband and picking up some postpaid mobile wireless customers, S&P noted in the report. Overall though, the report noted, that is “an unfavorable trade-off given high in-home broadband margins and modest mobile wireless margins, though Comcast may be an outlier in that regard.
Amid a continued trend toward cord-cutting, Comcast, which did not return requests for comment, has been shedding broadband subscribers. But it is gaining in other areas. CEO Brian Roberts called last year the company’s best-ever financially, as revenue inched up and Xfinity Mobile, Comcast’s cell phone service, saw a 24% increase in subscriber growth.
In the recent announcement of its new no-contract, no-fee, month-to-month services NOW Mobile and NOW internet, Comcast addressed mobile carriers’ FWA products directly, saying their NOW service “delivers a more consistent and reliable connection at a better price point than 5G home internet from the cellular companies.”

Remember how difficult it was to find one Higgs boson? Try finding two at the same place at the same time. Known as di-Higgs production, this fascinating process can tell scientists about the Higgs boson self-interaction.
By studying it, physicists can measure the strength of the Higgs boson’s “self-coupling,” which is a fundamental aspect of the Standard Model that connects the Higgs mechanism and the stability of our universe.
Searching for di-Higgs production is an especially challenging task. It’s a very rare process, about 1,000 times rarer than the production of a single Higgs boson. During the entire Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), only a few thousand di-Higgs events are expected to have been produced in ATLAS, compared with the 40 million collisions that happened every second.
So how can physicists find these rare needles in the data haystack? One way to make it easier to look for di-Higgs production is to search for it in multiple places. By looking at the different ways di-Higgs can decay (decay modes) and putting them together, physicists are able to maximize their chances of finding and studying di-Higgs production.
Researchers at the ATLAS collaboration have now released the most sensitive search for di-Higgs production and self-coupling yet, achieved by combining five di-Higgs studies of LHC Run 2 data. This new result is their most comprehensive search so far, covering over half of all possible di-Higgs events in ATLAS. The study is also posted to the arXiv preprint server.
The five individual studies in this combination each focused on different decay modes, each of which has its pros and cons. For example, the most probable di-Higgs decay mode is into four bottom quarks. However, Standard Model QCD processes are also likely to create four bottom quarks, making it difficult to differentiate a di-Higgs event from this background process.
The di-Higgs decay to two bottom quarks and two tau leptons has moderate background contamination but is five times less common and has neutrinos that escape undetected, complicating physicists’ ability to reconstruct the decay. The decay to multiple leptons, while not too rare, has complex signatures.
Other di-Higgs decays are even more rare, such as the decay to two bottom quarks and two photons. This final state accounts for only 0.3% of total di-Higgs decays but has a cleaner signature and much smaller background contamination.
By combining the results from searches for each of these decays, the researchers were able to find that the probability that two Higgs bosons are produced excludes values more than 2.9 times the Standard Model prediction. This result is at 95% confidence level, with an expected sensitivity of 2.4 (assuming that this process is not present in nature).
The researchers were also able to provide constraints on the strength of the Higgs boson self-coupling, achieving the best-yet sensitivity on this important observable. They found that the magnitude of the Higgs self-coupling constant and the interaction strength of two Higgs bosons and two vector bosons are consistent with Standard Model predictions.
This combined result sets a milestone in the study of di-Higgs production. Now, ATLAS researchers have set their sights on data from the ongoing LHC Run 3 and upcoming High-Luminosity LHC operation. With this data, physicists may be able to observe the elusive Higgs-boson-pair production at last.

CC Wei will be the first person to hold the dual role at TSMC.
TSMC’s board of directors on Tuesday unanimously elected chief executive CC Wei to succeed Mark Liu as chairman of the chip titan.
Wei will be the first person to hold the dual roles for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which controls more than half the global output of microchips used in everything from smartphones to cars and missiles.
Wei takes up his new role as the firm sits at the center of a worldwide drive for the processors that are also needed to power generative artificial intelligence products, which have skyrocketed in popularity.
Liu has been in the post since 2018, when he succeeded company founder Morris Chang.
Under Liu’s steerage, TSMC has opened new factories in Japan and the United States, as governments and customers have lobbied for the company to diversify its manufacturing base.
The company is the most important chip supplier to Apple. They also supply and work closely with AI leaders Nvidia and AMD—two rival heavyweights paving the way for the development and adoption of the technology.
Speaking during the firm’s annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday, Wei—a familiar presence during quarterly releases—was asked which company outside of Nvidia and AMD “matters more” to TSMC.
“Both companies have a very good relationship with us and we have grown together with them,” Wei said Tuesday.
The bulk of TSMC’s chips are made in Taiwan, though worries about tensions with China, which claims the island as part of its territory, have raised concerns about supplies in the event of an invasion.
TSMC has also had to navigate geopolitical tussles between the United States and China as the superpowers spar over a range of issues, including technology, trade and Taiwan.

Among some potentially positive changes in the amendment—such as the introduction of a pet bond—are rule changes that could cause real harm to renters. In particular, the proposed return of “no-cause” evictions is troubling.
Landlords will be able to give a 90-day termination notice to end any periodic tenancy, at any time, without giving a reason. Currently, landlords can evict someone for being more than three weeks late with rent, when the owner wants to live in the house themselves, or wants an employee to live on the property, among other grounds.
Landlords must provide the reason for the termination, and any notice can be disputed in the Tenancy Tribunal.
For renters, the proposed amendment could cause real problems. Submissions on the bill are open until July 3, so this is a good time to consider what this law will achieve and who it could potentially hurt.
Who loses with no-cause evictions?
Housing Minister Chris Bishop claimed last year that no-cause evictions were a “…progressive, pro-tenant move” requested by people who worked on the front line with the homeless (though subsequent reporting failed to find evidence supporting the claim).
It is hard to square how no-cause evictions could be pro-tenant. Renters will not know why they are being evicted, and they won’t be able to dispute it. They will just have to pack up and leave.
Additionally, tenants will incur all the costs involved in moving, plus the time needed to view rentals and apply for new properties. If the tenant has children, there may be a change of schools and related uniform costs.
Tenants will bear the full mental, physical and financial toll of being forced to move against their will.
The rule changes also mean renters will be reluctant to complain about problems with the property. A recent survey of tenants by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development found that 15% felt they had a bad relationship with their landlord.
These bad relationships were mainly caused by the dwelling not complying with health and fire regulations, issues with condensation, wet or cold homes, and a failure to repair or maintain the property.
How will these issues be addressed if tenants know complaining could result in their eviction? Tenants in Australia have reported eviction notices sometimes arrive after they’ve made complaints.
No-cause evictions have also become an election issue in the United Kingdom. Both the Conservative Party and Labour Party have pledged to abolish them if elected in July.
An unnecessary change
Reinstating no-cause evictions is problematic for three reasons.
Firstly, it lacks supporting evidence. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development’s regulatory impact statement accompanying the proposed amendment: “Our analysis is constrained by limited evidence regarding the specific impacts the 2020 RTA changes had on the rental market and […] HUD does not have, and is not able to readily create, a market analysis model that would enable us to produce quantified estimates of the potential impact of regulatory changes on the operation of the market and intended outcomes.”
In other words, there is no evidence bringing back no-cause terminations will help tenants, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
Secondly, this is bad law because it will deny tenants one of the oldest legal rights—the right to natural justice. The idea of listening to the other side has been entrenched in British (and subsequently New Zealand) law since the Magna Carta was issued in 1215. That is, everyone has the right to a fair hearing.
To have your right to live in a rented home taken away without knowing the reason or having the chance to explain your side of the story goes against this fundamental legal principle.
Thirdly, no-cause evictions will hurt those who are most vulnerable in New Zealand society—those who cannot buy their own home and Māori. As outlined in the disclosure statement from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development accompanying the proposed amendment: “Evidence suggests that the termination related proposals will negatively impact on actual and perceived security of tenure for many tenants compared to the status quo. These negative impacts are likely to disproportionately affect Māori, as Māori are more likely to live in rented accommodation, have a lower overall median income, and are more likely to experience discrimination than the general population.”
Any law that harms the most vulnerable should give lawmakers pause for reconsideration.
Bringing back no-cause evictions would give all the power to landlords and property managers—a profession that is still unregulated, in which landlords and managers need no qualifications or training, and in which they are not accountable to any professional body. Property managers and landlords will hold all the power to determine whether a renter has somewhere to live.
And importantly, all the other grounds for evicting renters (being behind in rent, illegal or antisocial behavior, for example) are still going to be available to landlords. The no-cause eviction would be in addition to those. So what exactly does the no-cause eviction amendment achieve?
