NEW YORK – Verizon is the first network provider to conduct an over-the-air call on a 3GPP-compliant 5G New Radio (NR) system using licensed spectrum.

Unilever CMO Keith Weed sent a threat to Facebook and Google this week: Clean up your platforms or we’ll spend our advertising dollars elsewhere. Oath CEO Tim Armstrong wants to be that elsewhere.
