A new report claims that AT&T and T-Mobile customers get more robocalls than customers at Sprint or Verizon. According to new research from the YouMail Robocall Index, AT&T users are robocalled the most frequently, averaging of 15.1 robocalls per person last month, followed by T-Mobile users with 14.8 robocalls each. Sprint users saw 12.4 robocalls per user last month, while Verizon users saw 11.8 robocalls per user in March. That said, the report notes that the rate of robocalls are soaring at all four carriers, with Sprint"s 21% month-over-month increase being the worst.

The hike in robocalls come as carriers and FCC boss Ajit Pai have routinely claimed to be doing everything in their power to combat the annoyance.

Data released by the FTC indicates that there were 4.5 million consumer complaints about robocalls in 2017, a dramatic increase from the 3.4 million consumer complaints government received the year before. Many robocalls are coming from cable TV and broadband ISPs themselves (Charter is facing two different lawsuits) for calling customers who didn"t want to be sold to.

AT&T"s spot at the top is particularly ironic, given the company was selected by former FCC boss Tom Wheeler to spearhead a "robocall task force" after the company had been widely criticized for doing too little to thwart such calls. AT&T was selected after the company falsely tried to blame the FCC for the company"s failure to adequately police the problem. AT&T"s history in this arena isn"t great; it has occasionally been fined for actively helping crammers and scammers because it historically netted a portion of the proceeds.

The firm tracked robocalls by the type of scam being pushed, noting that mortgage interest rate scams, credit card scams, student loan scams, business loan scams and IRS scams were the top five most common.

"There was a big surge in scam calls in March, with the top three financial scams estimated to reach a combined 276.4 million calls alone, up a full 33% from 207.4 million in February," the firm notes. "In addition, IRS-related scam calls nearly doubled in March from February, making it the 5th most common scam, and Home Security Scams were up over four times, leaping into 9th place."

Users in our Comcast Xfinity forum discuss just how easy (or hard) it is to watch Comcast TV service in 2018 without having to pay the company to rent a cable box.

T-Mobile is promising service discounts and potential employment to military families as part of a new company marketing effort. According to the full T-Mobile announcement, the company"s new "T-Mobile One Military" plans reduce the company"s standard $70-a-month plan by 20% to $55, also providing half off the next five lines. In other words, military families will pay $25 a month for the second line, and $10 for the next four lines. T-Mobile claims the new promo will save a military family of four $665 annually compared to AT&T and $764 annually when compared to comparable Verizon offerings.

"What the Duopoly do for military--help cover taxes and fees--is what we do for everyone already," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "Now, we re also going big to save military customers hundreds per year--all on America s best unlimited network."

The program formally begins on April 22, according to T-Mobile.

Users must sign up for autopay to nab the discounts, or they"ll pay $5 more per month. As with T-Mobile"s other plans, taxes and fees are included in the monthly price. T-Mobile said the company will also offer a promotion for half-off select Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.

T-Mobile also promised to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses in the next five years, effectively doubling an already-announced 2016 promise by the company.

We re going full-throttle to support our military and their families," Legere said of the new promo. "This is T-Mobile s biggest discount ever for families. Our biggest hiring commitment ever. And, we re putting our biggest network investment ever -- our $8 billion in nationwide spectrum -- to work so that military communities aren t left behind when it comes to 5G."

A new report notes that streaming video revenue jumped 41% last year as competition finally begins to take root among over the top (OTT) video providers. According to a Convergence Research Group study, The Battle for the American Couch Potato (pdf), streaming video revenue among 55 streaming operators tracked grew 41% to $11.9 billion in 2017. The firm predicts that those numbers will jump to $16.6 billion in 2018, and $27.6 billion by 2020 as more and more companies jump into the market. That includes broadcasters like Disney, who is expected to launch its own, new service this year.

The firm notes that the impact on traditional television is not subtle.

Convergence estimates that traditional pay TV providers lost 3.66 million subscribers in 2017, up from 2.2 million in 2016. The firm predicts they should lose another 3.72 million in 2018 as the over the top streaming field gets increasingly crowded.

As of the end of last year, the report estimates that 32.13 million US households don"t have a traditional TV subscription from a cable, satellite, or telcoTV provider. That"s up from 27.56 million at the end of 2016, and should rise to 36.76 million by the end of this year.

"The traditional TV ecosystem does not show decline yet except for TV subscribers," notes the report. "TV access players continue to raise prices, and programmers have kept up increases in programming fees & advertising rates but this architecture can not last in the long-run...programmers have read the writing on the wall and have already gone, or are in process of going direct to consumer, again at competitive price points," it notes.
