Although competition in the US wireless carrier market remains fierce, the price war among the Big Four US carriers — Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint — began to cool over the past year. In an attempt to avoid further competition on price, carriers began shifting their focus to adding value to their mobile plans with new offerings to differentiate from the competition. This helped average revenue per user (ARPU) start to stabilize across all carriers in Q1 2018, after declining over the last two years. The Big Four have now begun reshuffling their unlimited plans to lure subscribers by providing more options. T

This massive cosmic butterfly is pure galactic eye candy

Image
Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory have captured the most detailed images yet of a planetary nebula that looks like a brightly colored butterfly. The impressive shape is made of gasses in space, surrounding a pair of stars. Scientists believe one of the stars recently blew its top, sending gasses flying and creating the unique symmetrical pattern. Celestial objects come in all shapes and sizes, and most are a real treat to look at. Still, some are more breathtaking than others , and the massive blob of gas known to astronomers at NGC 2899 is in a class of its very own. The massive bubble is in the shape of a butterfly with its wings spread, and scientists as the European Southern Observatory just snapped the most detailed image of it to date. The European Southern Observatory (ESO for short) says the object is somewhere between 3,000 and 6,500 light-years from Earth . A pair of stars sits near its center, and as one of them died it blasted surrounding gasses into

Dr. Fauci fires back amid allegations he’s mishandled the response to the coronavirus

Image
Dr. Anthony Fauci recently defended himself amid complaints that he's mishandled the coronavirus pandemic. President Trump recently lamented that Fauci has a higher approval rating. Trump supporters have suggested that Fauci's coronavirus response strategy has been flawed. For reasons that still don't make much sense, the manner in which people view the coronavirus has become something of a heated and divisive political issue. So while it would clearly be beneficial for people in the U.S. to come together and get on the same page when it comes to combatting the coronavirus, that's not how things have played out over the past few months. Part of the problem is that many of our country's leaders can't even get on the same page when it comes to the coronavirus. Case in point: President Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci have seemingly been at odds for weeks on end in regards to the country's coronavirus response. The tension between the two reached a new level

Read the pitch deck that buzzy startup Devoted Health used to reach a $1.8 billion valuation before it signed up a single customer

Image
Devoted Health wants to change the way the U.S. takes care of its senior citizens, and it has big plans in its first five years to do just that. The startup, which has been gathering lots of buzz in the last year, was founded to sell private health insurance plans to U.S. seniors, a market that is growing rapidly as Baby Boomers age. Using one pitch deck, Devoted Health managed to secure $300 million from investors in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz late last year, with a valuation of $1.8 billion – all before it signed up a single customer. But the deck also outlined the company's aggressive plans for its first five years. Devoted Health planned to sign up 5,000 members for 2019 and grow that to 103,722 by 2023. It expects to make about $1.2 billion in revenue in 2023 while generating a small net loss. Here's what else Devoted Health laid out in the pitch deck: How the company, in part, plans to make money by owning its own medical group in addition to the in

5 reasons why Amazon had record profits in the second quarter even after spending over $4 billion on COVID-related initiatives (AMZN)

Image
Amazon doubled its profit to a record $5.2 billion in the second quarter. Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky shared a few reasons that may have contributed to the increased profits during his call with analysts on Thursday. Amazon saw huge lockdown-driven sales, but also scaled back its marketing and video production spend, while improving the profitability of its international business. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Amazon surprised investors on Thursday when it reported record profits for the second quarter , which exceeded Wall Street expectations by almost 600%. The $5.2 billion in net profit, which doubled from last year, was all the more impressive because Amazon had previously warned it would spend all of the $4 billion it was projected to make in quarterly profits on COVID-related responses, including wage increases for warehouse workers and the development of an in-house testing lab.
