After a relatively tranquil first half of 2018, the U.S. wireless industry should soon start to get more active. At least, that’s the forecast from one Wall Street research firm.  

“After a quiet 1H, competition should pick up,” wrote the analysts at Macquarie Research in a note to investors this week. “AT&T will likely leverage its new assets to offer better bundles, while T-Mobile/Sprint could offer promos to showcase their consumer-friendly nature. We expect Comcast will continue to grow its 577k sub base and Charter will enter wireless in 2H confidently (following in Comcast’s steps). Meanwhile, with the 8/1 appointment of new CEO Vestberg and the recent shutdown of Go90, Verizon could welcome a fresh approach.”
