What a trade war could mean for the secondary mobile market
Over the last few weeks, the U.S. and China trade-war has reached new heights due to significant steps being made against Chinese technology manufacturer, Huawei. Due to a U.S. administration ba against the Chinese technology company, many are anticipating major implications for global smartphone manufacturers and consumers across the globe.

The ugly truth about green batteries
In an effort to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, we’ll need to enter an energy revolution. Specifically, we’ll need to find ways to replace dirty, fossil fuel-based grids and vehicles with clean, carbon-free grids and electric vehicles (EVs). However making this into a reality will be a challenge due to the fact that an increase in renewable energy means an increase in the need for batteries to power EVs and store energy from solar panels and wind turbines. And as a new report by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney warns, that’s likely to drive demand for the metals used to build green batteries, solar panels and wind turbines through the roof.
Is Amazon looking to become a wireless carrier?
Last week, Reuters, an international news organization, reported that multinational e-commerce tech company, Amazon may be working towards becoming the fourth U.S. wireless carrier. Amazon first entered the picture as a potential buyer of Boost Mobile after Sprint announced that it would be selling the prepaid plan as a condition to gain approval for the T-Mobile-Sprint merger from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Additionally, T-Mobile and Sprint received recommendation from the Department of Justice that the carriers lay the groundwork for an entirely new carrier to emerge from their deal to be approved. However, while Amazon’s interest is buying Boost Mobile may help through the stalled $26 billion T-Mobile-Sprint merger, it may not be the boom that the telecom carriers had in mind.
