Light Reading\'s Phil Harvey and Ray Le Maistre chew on the latest offers from T-Mobile, Verizon, and Orange while discussing the broader theme of how traditional carriers can become (and be perceived as) something more than connectivity providers. When should a telco become a media company? Or a lifestyle brand? Or a bank? The answer depends on the company, but each company, as it changes and modernizes to keep up with competitors, should always be looking for places that it can disrupt others. Later in the show, we ponder then unintended consequences of Huawei\'s troubles in the U.S. Could we someday miss out on innovation in the U.S. and Europe because we were all too quick to demonize a world-beating Chinese rival in the telecom space?
