What should wireless dealers be doing to finish 2026 strong? And how will Starlink Mobile, AI, and increasing carrier competition reshape the wireless retail industry?

In this episode of The Boon of Wireless, host Jon Horovitz welcomes back Adam Wolf, President of the National Wireless Independent Dealer Association (NWIDA https://nwida.org/), for his fourth appearance on the podcast.

Together, they discuss the biggest developments in wireless retail.

What does “good coverage” actually mean?

In this episode of The Boon of Wireless, host Jon Horovitz sits down with @StetsonDoggett , co-founder of CoverageMap (https://coveragemap.com/) and creator of BestPhonePlans (https://www.bestphoneplans.net/), to explore what wireless coverage really looks like beyond the maps published by carriers.

CoverageMap combines FCC coverage data with more than 14 million crowdsourced speed tests to provide a more detailed look at real-world network performance.

The iPhone 18 Pro is here, putting smartphone upgrades back in the spotlight.

But do we really need to replace our phones so often?

In this episode of The Boon of Wireless, Jon Horovitz sits down with Nora Levinson, U.S. General Manager of Fairphone, to explore a different approach: smartphones designed to be repaired, kept, and used for years.

Nora shares Fairphone’s story, its expansion into the U.S., and why repairability and longevity are becoming increasingly important. Plus, she gives us a hands-on teardown — showing just how easy it is to replace the battery, screen, USB port, cameras, and more.
