AT&T's networks have seen a surge of usage since companies around the United States have asked employees to work from home and schools have moved online following the COVID-19 outbreak.

CEO Randall Stephenson told CNN's Brian Stelter on today's Reliable Sources that "mobile volumes are up 40 percent," and "Wi-Fi calling volumes are up 100 percent." Stephenson added the network infrastructures are "performing quite well," but noted the company is seeing some stress as more people work from home.

AT&T itself currently has approximately 90,000 employees working from home, according to Stephenson. Stephenson added that considering how many people are working from home, and how this will change the future of work once the crisis is over,...

Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted Saturday that the company was donating "millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe," to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. Cook's tweet appears to confirm a statement earlier in the day by Vice President Mike Pence.

Disney has not said if people in other countries set to receive Disney Plus, including the UK, will face delays.

New subscribers in those regions will see a reduced quality in streaming, however, when the service launches. Disney will "lower our overall bandwidth utilization by at least 25 percent in all of the markets launching Disney Plus...

Best Buy has suspended its in-home installations and repair services, as well as its product trade-in and recycling services.
