In Partial Win for Cable, Trump Memoranda Appears to Protect CBRS

Late Friday, President Trump released a new Presidential Memoranda on 6G and Spectrum. While what the Memoranda said is largely a restatement of what we have previously reported, we think the most important element for investors is what it didn’t say; specifically, that by omission it appears to protect the spectrum known as the Citizens Band Radio Services (CBRS) currently used by cable (and others) for wireless services. In this note we provide an analysis of the Memoranda.

VZ: Investor meeting key takeaways

We hosted a Verizon investor lunch yesterday. We feel we came away with a clearer understanding of the evolving ‘Dan Plan’. Long story short, the chances of VZ ‘burning down the neighborhood’ are far lower than generally feared. This fear has nevertheless been priced into sector stocks, which may present an opportunity across the sector.
