Citywide WiFi, smart grid, enterprise wireless, public safety, mobile apps
Such a hot fashion trend, sponsoring free Wi-Fi. I ask myself why now? Why did this not take off a couple of years ago when I was writing about how Wi-Fi would be free and ad-supported? One word: iPhone. Yahoo has agreed to provide free Wi-Fi for an entire year (not a week or 2o-minuntes) [...]
The NTIA and RUS are seeking public comment about the next round of funding. There will be only one more round, not two, and the agencies want to know how they can streamline the process. This is after all the “stimulus” funding and it’s meant to stimulate the economy. Given that we are already in [...]
I had just finished posting an article about the latest fad among advertisers, which is to partner with a company that provides paid Wi-Fi access (e.g. an airline or a city hotzone) and offer free Wi-Fi in exchange for an ad on the splash page. So far we’ve seen Toyota Prius’s Wi-Fi hotzones in public [...]
I recently posted an article about Toyota’s free Wi-Fi hotzones, which they set up to promote the Prius and green tech (the Wi-Fi access points use Meraki’s solar-powered nodes). The most recent is Microsoft’s Bing search engine teaming up with JiWire to offer free Wi-Fi. The airlines have been teaming up with companies sponsoring free [...]
A survey conducted by Meraki, a vendor of wireless mesh networking equipment, shows a dramatic increase in the use of 802.11n on campuses. Meraki’s Higher Education Wireless Census collected data from 10,000 randomly selected devices in 24 higher education institutions, and compared them against activity seen by 10,000 randomly selected devices in general use networks. [...]
Last week, I spoke to Kenneth Carnesi, CEO of Anaptyx, a Boston-based firm that deployed the Harvard Square WiFi hotzone. Anaptyx continues to run the hotzone as its service provider. Since they began offering free WiFi service in Harvard Square in June 2008, 83,068 people have used the network. Here is my Q&A with Kenneth. [...]
When we heard Clearwire’s Hope Cochran was a no-show at last week’s Open Mobile Summit due to a last-minute trip to New York, we knew something was up — and since Cochran is Clearwire’s senior VP for finance and treasury, it (apparently) had something to do with money talks, specifically the kind that helps you [...]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced the winners of Auction 86 (the “WiMAX Band auction”). The auction began on 27 October 2009. Most of the spectrum in the WiMAX Band (2.5 GHz) was won by Clearwire Spectrum Holdings. Other winning bidders include DigitalBridge, the Vermont Telephone Company and an individual in Hilo, Hawaii named [...]
The long wait for WiMAX in the Windy City as well as the DFW Metroplex is over — as we expected, Clearwire is now selling services in both cities, keeping with the company’s strategy of “soft launching” markets online before staging an “official” market opening with all the attendant hoopla. Since it’s Nov. 1, time [...]
2010 is the year of mobile app stores, unlimited data plans, 4G network technologies (WiMAX, LTE) and smartphones with full browsing technologies, providing a perfect storm of adoption, carrier revenue realization. Market research and consulting company JBB Research which specializes in the mobile and telecommunications industry, today published its latest report, “The U.S. Mobile Web [...]
