Andy Abramson Wireless Intelligence, a UK mobile consultancy, has a very well written PDF file about Italian mobile operator TIM, that points out how SMS has slowed as the users are moving to Instant Messaging and Email driving more data plan sales for TIM. This supports the kind of thing we’re seeing with clients Palringo in the … Read more
I have to thank one of my readers who pointed out to me the fact that Aircell is already in the business of making VoIP work in the skies. It seems they are already marketing SIP based phones for the business aviation market selling against others with similar products. They’re also selling a voice ready … Read more
It’s hilarious that the mainstream media is saying that using Adobe’s Flash and Apple’s Safari is “hacking” in the recent matter of my calling Laptop’s News Editor Joanna Stern via Phweet and TringMe “hacking.” If that’s hacking, I guess Apple and Adobe make hacker tools? Somehow I don’t think so. For the record, I offered … Read more
Business Week’s Olga Kharif writes a very good summary article about Mobile VoIP, which includes client Truphone. Olga’s points about Mobile VoIP and who the players are makes a nice compendium. What this means is that Mobile VoIP has gone well beyond the blogosphere and is now going to become more mainstream. Sadly, the carries … Read more
Dan York has a very lengthy post about the VoIP packet traffic that Phweet and Tringme uses. In his very knowledgeable way describes why long term the attempts to block VoIP are futile. I agree, especially since it took me, a non-hacker, using a regular application called Flash from Adobe. Instead of all this we … Read more
I’ve been a fan of GizmoProject for a very long time, and while I’m using it less and less, and other apps more, I still never forget how much innovation resides inside their team. Many people forget that Gizmo was birthed out of SipPhone, and SipPhone has a ton of standards based capabilities and relationships, … Read more
I’d hate for AT&T to simply cut off CallVantage for those of us who have it. Today Network World recaps something I wrote earlier in the month, and which has been on DSLReports/BroadbandReports as well. Simply put, AT&T is not putting any new customers on the CallVantage platform. This comes at a time when the … Read more
I was turned on to TripIt by pal Jonathan Greene the other day. All I can say, for someone who is Working Anywhere and regularly traveling the reports are a blessing, especially for those that need to share the information. Based in two days of use, TripIt is a real Trip!
Unlike Denver or Philadelphia International Airports, the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport gets speeds right. How right? Try 10 megs down and over 18 megs up. That’s a Working Anywhere Approved Airport. Add in the very cool Southwest Work and Power Stations and you have a perfect layover location to get things done.
I grew up in Philadelphia and was saddened to see how bad the WiFi was. How bad? Less than 300k. What’s more a few of the power outlets in the Southwest Concourse D weren’t working either. Luckily I carry the Novatel 950 and an AT&T 3G card. That worked fine with over 1.5 megs down … Read more
