M&A in the Metaverse, 5G in the Skies, & Trades on the Peloton
Microsoft’s enormous deal for Activision Blizzard might be the catalyst for consolidation of metaverse projects in 2022. AT&T and Verizon have turned on a major new part of 5G coverage, but alarm from some airlines has delayed the launch near U.S. airports. Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg discusses 5G safety and how the new 5G C-band coverage could supercharge the internet, just in time for more metaverse projects. Plus, Pfizer’s new Covid antiviral drug is effective against the omicron variant, and stock sales from Peloton executives are raising some eyebrows while CNBC’s Robert Frank raises the bar for anchor workouts.
