Here’s some good news to balance the bad news coming out of Europe. Starting 1 July 2012, the EU’s data roaming price caps enter into effect, saving business people (traveling within the EU) approximately 1000 EUR per year. Families on holiday can expect to save 200 EUR. The EU estimates that the improved EU roaming regulation [...]
When the EU member states opened up their respective telecom markets to competition, they hoped that mobile operators would cross borders, invest and compete outside their home countries. That happened in the 1990s when companies such as T-Mobile (a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom) and Orange (a subsidiary of France Telecom) began offering cellular service in [...]
This summer, mobile phone subscribers in the European Union will enjoy even lower roaming charges as they converge on the sunny beaches of the Mediterranean, thanks to the relentless war waged by the EU on mobile carriers. Here are the maximum rates that people will pay starting 1 July 2012 when they use their cell [...]
The fourth French mobile operator, Free (which belongs to Iliad), will begin offering very cheap mobile voice and data plans this month. A “no contract” plan with unlimited test messages, MMS and data will cost 20 EUR per month (note: there is a cap of 3 Gigabytes for 3G data usage so it’s not really [...]
On 25 October 2011, Bloomberg reported that the 3rd quarter profits of Dutch telco incumbent KPN “fell 9.4 percent because of price reductions and increasing use of mobile and social-media applications cut into voice revenue.” KPN announced that it will be increasing the prices it charges customers for mobile data use because more people are [...]
With news leaking out today about Verizon Wireless’s apparent decision to double the amount of downloadable data it allows customers on its 4G LTE network, the question of why is one of two choices: Either Verizon’s confident that its network is strong, or it’s panicking a bit because of slow 4G sales. The answer? Your guess is [...]
After seemingly kicking partner Clearwire to the curb a few weeks ago, Sprint Nextel brought its erstwhile 4G partner back into the limo Wednesday, announcing a deal to work with Clearwire on Long Term Evolution (LTE) network implementations in the future. While there are no specifics yet, at the very least Sprint’s public re-embrace of the company [...]
The scorecard for the U.S. 4G wireless marketplace got an update Friday, with Verizon reporting 1.4 million new 4G LTE devices were activated during the third fiscal quarter. Though Sprint’s Q3 numbers are not yet official (the company is scheduled to report next week) we can likely extrapolate the 4G numbers for Q3 recently released by WiMAX [...]
For what we think is the first time ever as a publicly traded entity, Clearwire has pre-announced its quarterly numbers for the last fiscal period, with one metric rising above the rest: The company announced 1.9 million new wholesale subscribers, which you can roughly translate into meaning that Sprint has probably sold about that many 4G phones [...]
Is this the beginning of the end for WiMAX provider Clearwire? Things certainly got dimmer for the nascent national broadband provider Friday when Sprint revealed its new Network Vision strategy that in part calls for Sprint to switch from using Clearwire’s WiMAX to power its 4G network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network that Sprint will build [...]
