Congratulations to the New York Knicks on bringing the championship back to New York City. For fans, the celebration has been years in the making. What many don’t see is the extraordinary amount of network optimizations, agency coordination and public safety preparation behind playoff games, watch parties and Thursday’s championship ticker-tape parade.

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have an agreement in principle to form a new JV which aims to help end wireless dead zones in the U.S., including in rural areas, by pooling limited spectrum resources to increase capacity, improve the customer experience, and help satellite providers reach more customers through a unified platform. The JV remains subject to negotiating definitive agreements between the parties and satisfying customary closing conditions.
