A little bit of reality hit the wireless world when Sprint announced it was going to charge smartphone users of all kinds another $10 for the convenience of having an “unlimited” data plan. While the debate about the merits of unlimited plans vs. metered plans like those recently introduced by AT&T can rage on, there is [...]
I have just returned from a 3-week trip to Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia, an odyssey that fascinated me and left me changed forever, not only because of the stunning magical landscapes and temples, but also because of the wonderful people I’ve met along the way. In between visits to Buddhist temples and shrines, [...]
As we all await Verizon’s expected announcement of iPhone availability on Tuesday, the attack from main competitor AT&T has apparently already started.

LAS VEGAS — The second chapter in the Verizon 4G LTE story was unveiled Thursday at CES, at a Vegas showstopper special of a press conference where Big Red announced a mix of smartphones, tablets and portable-hotspot routers for its new, fast wireless network. Left untold was the tale of how much consumers would eventually [...]
Just some quick thoughts on a bunch of wireless spectrum talk that surfaced today at CES; while I will try to formulate some longer thought pieces on this subject I know that if I let it sit over the weekend it might never get done. So before Virgin whisks me back home some thoughts, reactions [...]
Tablet and Smartphone sales are going berserk. That’s not much of a secret. Palm, Blackberry, and Windows mobile started the trend.
