If part of Clearwire’s new mantra is a low-profile, cost-savings marketing plan, its presence at CTIA couldn’t have been done better. Instead of a show-floor booth, the nascent national provider of WiMAX services took meetings in a simple gray cubicle at the very back of the meeting-room layout, with a simple block-lettered sign saying “Clearwire” [...]
Whether by luck or by design, the decision by Verizon Wireless to basically do nothing public at last week’s CTIA show worked out perfectly, leaving the nation’s top wireless carrier (for now) looking unruffled, unworried and pretty much unconcerned about the pending acquistion of T-Mobile by Verizon’s biggest competitor, AT&T. It is somewhat understandable that [...]
Google has chosen Kansas City, Kansas for its first fiber project after a much-publicized contest which attracted responses from hundreds of American cities.

But Dan’s plans for another blockbuster CTIA were waylaid by the AT&T-T-Mobile takeover announcement, an industry-shattering news event that put a big stink on Sprint’s plans to show [...]

ORLANDO, Fla. — In his numerous panel appearances Tuesday here at the CTIA Wireless show, AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan had a simple, one-word answer for the reason behind the proposed purchase of wireless competitor T-Mobile: “Spectrum.” Specifically, Donovan said in a brief interview with Sidecut Reports following one of his panel appearances, T-Mobile’s [...]
Rick Falkvinge, founder of the first Pirate Party (in Sweden) says telcos won’t be around for long because of the shift to mobile handsets, political pressure to make Internet access a basic urban utility and the ability of mobile devices to make calls over the Internet, bypassing the telco network. Falkvinge was in the Netherlands [...]
