If I was a betting man, I would expect the new HTC Android device to be one of the first 3G devices on the new T-Mobile 1700 megahertz range network. Why? It’s an instant market differentiator, and it puts data plans on a network that was licensed and built just for that. I mean, how … Read more
Om’s post of this past Thursday, aimed squarely at Comcast, asks the question “Where’s the Meter?” That reminds me of the old Wendy’s commercial, “Where’s the Beef” and at the same time “Show me the Money” from Jerry McGuire fame. Here’s my take. 1) Cable companies have never cared how much tv you watch. 2) … Read more
I’ve been tethering my laptop and other peoples laptops over a 3G connection for a while now using my bright and shiny Nokia E71 smartphone and an AT&T 3G data plan by running JoikuSpot as many readers know. Others have picked up on the capability and are doing it now, eliminating the need for a … Read more

Clearly this shows that Mobile VoIP is very much alive and well and that the interest is jumping from … 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.
