I Need A Reason To Stick With AT&T

I need a reason to stick with AT&T right now and not switch to Verizon or Sprint.  I’m not enjoying my AT&T experience and I’m not sure why I’m sticking with AT&T at this point.  There are more options then ever in terms of service providers but what sets one apart from the next?  Only [...]

For Americas Sake AT&T Needs To Let T-Mobile Go

Does anyone find it interesting that AT&T doesn’t have any visable deals with MVNO’s to use their network?  It’s because it’s more expensive, understandably so, it’s superior to T-Mobiles but it is more expensive.  Now T-Mobile has a few MVNO’s it works with like Simple Mobile and Straight Talk, why you ask… Because they’re cheaper. [...]

New Tru Supremo Steve Robertson

I only recently heard the news that Steve Robertson is taking over as the new Tru CEO.  I have a long history with TruPhone as they used to be known and want to take a few words to let people know who might be reading about them for the first time who and what they are. [...]

Netflix’s Reed Hastings at D9

I was listening to an interview of Reed Hastingsthe co-founder and CEO of Netflix at the D9 conference by Kara Swisher and during the Q & A with the audience (about 38:15 in) someone asked a question, basically saying the students at the university where he works are bringing fewer TV’s to school each year [...]

T-Mobile’s Acquisition By AT&T Will Be Bad For International Roamers

I was thinking this morning that if the acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T goes through it won’t only be bad for Americans for a variety of reasons.  Starting with the lack of competition.  Yes there are still 2 other companies to compete with but that’s 1 less then before and the only other GSM carrier [...]

Do You Use Google Maps To It’s Fullest Potential?

I was just listening to a recent 361 Degrees podcast chat about apps and Ewan asked if I’m on the beach and want a steak how do I find it? Good question right. His answer was that he’s upset because he may have to download an app to find it.  Whether it’s an app about steaks [...]

Google And Sprint Are New BFF’s

Is there a correlation in the fact that Sprint’s HQ is in KC and Google chose Kansas City for ultra-high speed fiber network?  Are the 2 companies delving into a sorted relationship with Android and high speed internet?  Is there a conspiracy? Now that T-Mobile USA is being purchased by AT&T Wireless Google’s Android doesn’t have a [...]

MWC ’11 The Device To Have Had

As I fly home from a long week of meetings, parties and the over abundance of mobile phones I think I’ve seen the future. I imagine this is the same all over the world and in many industries and that it will trickle down into the general population. Every year I see a trend and [...]

Phone.com is better than Apples New Phone Company

I was just reading Stacey Higginbotham’s recent post on GigaOm, Could Apple Be Your Next Phone Company?.  It got me thinking and really for the first time in a while got me mulling over the entire mobile industry as we know it.  If and only if what she’s talking about is reality (and Stacey I’m [...]

RIM’s BlackBerry Is Doing “It” Right

I’ve been noticing for many months now, maybe even years that BlackBerrys are everywhere.  I used to think they were intentionally going after the young crowd like the teens and early 20′s but now I know they are.  I’ve been seeing kids, yes 12 year olds with BlackBerrys.  I’ve also been seeing many many more 20 [...]
