Will Verizon Wireless be the U.S. 4G market leader before the end of the year? It certainly looks that way if Big Red can keep up the pace from its just-announced first fiscal quarter, which saw Verizon add 500,000 subscribers for its Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G network. According to Verizon that number includes 260,000 [...]
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 [...]
US Internet has set up 117 Wi-Fi hotspots around the city of Minneapolis, as part of its contract with the city. Many of the hotspots are in public parks and other locations. US Internet has deployed the largest citywide Wi-Fi network in the United States, and Minneapolis is paying $1.25 million per year for 10 [...]
The New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority has issued a public tender to install Wi-Fi in commuter trains. Cablevision is bidding aggressively for the project because they can give free Wi-Fi access to their customers, thereby reducing churn and at the same time, enticing others to subscribe to their cable service. Non-Cablevision subscribers will have [...]
While we still don’t have any concrete details on how many HTC EVO 4G smartphones Sprint has sold so far, it’s safe to assume that a lot of them have gone out the door — and according to a Sprint exec at a WiMAX symposium Tuesday, some 40,000 of those devices are now using the Fring [...]

The new applications that Apple demonstrated today are Facetime, their video [...]
Amtrak is making free Wi-Fi service a standard feature on the Acela trains that run between Boston and Washington, D.C. The railway operator says that the 3-month trial proved to be popular with Acela passengers and that they would offer free Wi-Fi on other routes. Surveys showed that 115,000 Acela Express passengers per month logged [...]
Something tells me the iPhone is about to get another carrier other than AT&T to offer it in the US. Two things have happened lately: AT&T nearly doubled the early termination fee from $175 to $325 last month and today they announced no more unlimited data plans. Starting June 7, new subscribers to AT&T will [...]
I have just created the MuniWireless Northern California meetup group. I encourage people living and working in Northern California to join us (and even those who don’t should join because you might be in the neighborhood when we are holding an event). The URL is http://www.meetup.com/MuniWireless-Northern-California. Among the topics we will cover in upcoming events [...]
The Wall Street Journal reports that AT&T is setting up a large Wi-Fi hotzone in Times Square (New York City) to offload data traffic from its 3G network.
