OS Therapies Files for Animal Health Spinoff to Unlock Veterinary Market Value

New York, Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
On January 14, 2026, OS Therapies (OSTX) took a decisive step to unlock shareholder value by filing a Form S-1 to spin off its subsidiary, OS Animal Health, as an independent public entity. This strategic move aims to capitalize on the booming veterinary oncology market, projected to reach $4.77 billion by 2034. Under the proposed plan, current OSTX investors are positioned to receive one share of the new animal health company for every ten shares held, effectively creating a direct stake in a specialized pipeline focused on canine osteosarcoma. By separating these veterinary assets from its human immunotherapy programs, OS Therapies intends to streamline its focus while OS Animal Health pursues a distinct listing on the NYSE American or Nasdaq in the first half of 2026. This restructuring coincides with the company securing $7.53 million in fresh capital to support regulatory advancements.

Cable Giants Deploy Proprietary Infrastructure to Cut Verizon Network Costs

Philadelphia, Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
Charter and Comcast are reshaping the wireless landscape by deploying $922 million in CBRS spectrum to decrease operational reliance on Verizon. This strategic pivot targets the “3% geometry” of wireless usage, where a mere 3% of geographic coverage accounts for 60% of mobile traffic. By utilizing “strand-mounted” small cells attached to existing cable lines, these operators have achieved an 8-to-1 cost advantage over traditional tower deployments, dropping unit costs to approximately $2,500. As of early 2026, Charter has successfully offloaded 88% of its mobile traffic to owned infrastructure, reducing its dependence on Verizon’s macro towers by nearly 20%. This infrastructure push not only aims to meet the FCC’s 2030 buildout deadline but fundamentally transforms the economics of the MVNO model by capping variable wholesale costs.
