T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T are facing backlash for their failure to notify senators about government surveillance requests, potentially involving the Trump administration. Senator Ron Wyden raised concerns over the lack of transparency and urged fellow senators to take precautions to safeguard their communications. Despite recent efforts to rectify the issue for Senate-funded phone lines, there are still gaps in notifying senators about surveillance on personal and campaign devices.

This lack of transparency has raised concerns among consumers, causing a drop in interest in these carriers. Additionally, a report from the Wireless Infrastructure Association has highlighted a shift towards colocation on cell towers as a more efficient network management strategy.
