Years ago Microsoft and Qualcomm created a venture called Wireless Knowledge, sometime within the first year the venture sort of went sideways and the two slowly separated a lot quieter than they announced the marriage.

I tend to agree since the new companies in the WiMax game will not initially be the same companies. This is all about competition. Eventually the existing … Read more
EuroTelcoblog’s James Enck discovers a flaw in the Skype multi user chat system and waxes on about it.
