TMO and Clearwire to become best of friends..?

Think of a world where opposite beings such as T-Mobile and Sprint worked together? Weird isn't it? The odd pairing might not be such an uncommon thing in the near future. In efforts to boost network capacity and resilience, T-Mobile is rumored to be in talks with Clearwire in a potential partnership. So far, Sprint has been the only major carrier to make use of Clearwire's 4G wireless technology. The speed is there for sure. But having T-Mobile and Clearwire/Sprint more or less working to...

Google may be the talk of the town with their proposed 1Gbps super-network, grabbing headlines for it's crazy fast speeds and reported "competitive cost", but the FCC would like to remind you that they aren't just sitting idle while Google steps forward and does their job, making them look like the fat lazy kid in gym class. No sir.
In an effort to better the overall lives of US citizens, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski announced (Warning: PDF) plans to boost the speed of internet access w...

Think CDMA is dead? Think again (unfortunately). While I may be using a CDMA carrier currently, that doesn't mean I'm tattooing CDMA logos on my body and boycotting anything with a SIM card. As with all tech related material, CDMA has a pretty large group of followers who for whatever reason, aren't planning on moving to GSM anytime soon.
Thankfully, those with CDMA technology don't have to sit idle and watch their GSM cousins enjoy all of the 4G fun. The next CDMA based technology will...
T-Mobile USA looking for a new bunkmate?

Posted November 20th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Coming last place can get old after awhile. Perhaps that's what's fueling T-Mobile's motivations to actively search for a new U.S. partner if reports from Reuters are to be believed. Currently ranked 4th out of the "Big 4" US cellular providers (Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, & T-Mobile), T-Mobile has for some time now been trying to recoup lost ground and push itself ahead of it's rivals. Part of pushing ahead is expanding the carriers rather weak coverage nationally speaking. Such adventu...

Mobile web browsing has become one of the most talked about areas of the mobile market with mobile browsers on cell phones constantly being made more of a prominent feature. On the mobile front, cellular providers are also hyping up their transitions in the near future to faster, more efficient 4G networks. Usually when we talk of 4G networks we then follow up with comments about devices that we dream about to take advantage of said networks and how they would look. But what if you hav...
WiMax gets another setback by way of a lawsuit

Mike
Posted April 24th, 2009 at 4:16 am
WiMax sure is having a tough time coming to fruition. While not the first setback/speed bump the Sprint partner, Clearwire has had, the latest is yet possibly another sign that maybe they just aren't meant to be. Seems as if people aren't exactly thrilled with the coverage and speeds they've been experiencing over Clearwire's network. The plaintiffs claim Clearwire's network of often falling short of their own claims of reliable service at broadband/DSl speeds that slow down and crawl...
Clearwire’s list of ‘09-’10 WiMax rollouts outed!
by
Mike
Posted March 6th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
So far, WiMax and Clearwire haven't exactly had a "speedy" rollout. Heck, LTE has drastically stepped up their game and has a promising couple of years coming. I was starting to think WiMax and Clearwire were throwing in the towel. All is not lost however as Clearwire's list of '09 and '10 WiMax rollouts has been spied. I'll stop the jibber jabber and get straight to it.
first off in 2009: Atlanta, Las Vegas, Chicago, Charlotte (N.C), Dallas/Fort Worth, Honolulu, Philadelphia...
WiMax gets Nokias less than warm shoulder right in the digital face

Mike
Posted March 5th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
WiMax has enjoyed a pretty big fanfare of hype the last couple years. However, the last 6-10 months has been a whole lot of hype and not much of any progress. For example, there are only TWO public WiMax networks up and running in the US after several years of "development". So what's up? Red tape, financial problems, tech politics? WiMax was dealt a pretty substantial blow when Nokia discontinued the N810 WiMax tablet. Until now, Nokia has been tight lipped about any and all top...
Verizon still on track for 2010 LTE rollout

Posted January 27th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
In the current economic times, cellular technologies aren't usually on in the forefront of very many peoples' minds. Thankfully, Verizon knows what their priorities are and is doing their best to keep LTE's 2010 launch date a reality. On a company earnings call today, Verizon's COO Denny Strigl said that he's hopefull that they can hit the current projected release date. If you've been living in a cave the last few months, or honestly don't know what LTE is, (it's ok, I won't judge you), L...
WiMAX (4G) takes 3 steps forward, 2.5 back
by
Mike
Posted January 7th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Nokia in what is most certainly a surprising and unknown move is pulling all WiMAX edition N810 tablets. The N810 was released several months ago when WiMAX was practically non-existent. Nokia was hoping adoption and roll out of WiMAX would be much faster than it has been. I'm sure the economy had some play as fewer people are willing to splurge on electronic gadgets. Also, Mobile Burn is reporting that poorly operating switches were also to blame for the abrupt reacll. Whatever...
Wimax coming to Portland Oregon..yesterday!
by
Mike
Posted January 7th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Even though Wimax is completely enveloped in drama and disputes between multiple parties, that hasn't stopped Clearwire. They are forging ahead and effective *yesterday*, Portland Oregon residents can now surf the web at super high speeds thanks to Wimax. Of course you'll first need to have a Wimax enabled device (and there are so many to choose from.../sarcasm). After overcoming the whole device selection hurdle your next stop will be a service contract. Pricing for said contracts a...
Sprint. WiMax. Chicago. 2009?
by
Mike
Posted January 4th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Constantly marred by politics and financial set backs mostly due to brand transitioning, Sprint has changed its tone on WiMax in Chicago...again. The old target was 2008, a target they obviously missed. Now a very vague "sometime in the second half of 2009" is all they can muster. Why Sprint? Why Clearwire. Get your *expletive* together and stop your high school drama! Hopefully these two little girls can come to an agreement and push this out in our life time.
