This week the U.S. mobile industry showed carriers stretching well past the phone-and-plan business. AT&T's tie-up with LifeMD, Cricket's leap into 5G home internet, and Verizon's push into AR glasses each point to the same instinct: wireless companies are hunting for the next subscription revenue stream now that plans and phones alone don't grow the business the way they used to.
