The news that AT&T was finally getting serious about launching its late-to-the-game LTE service got us thinking about AT&T’s HSPA+ rollout map, the hunt-and-see game where you try to find active HSPA+ markets by rolling your cursor over a map (instead, of say, reading a list off a press release).

Why am I not surprised about this? Most people who have an iPhone or other smartphone already have a data plan. Having another data plan for a [...]
The city of Taipei is rolling out free Wi-fi in public areas such as the MRT (metro stations), shopping centers, libraries, hospitals and office zones. Eventually Wi-Fi access will be available in major streets, residential areas and even city buses. According to some people who have visited Taipei recently, the free Wi-Fi is quite slow [...]
