  1. True that it's not GREED that drives one or the other, but Verizon has a disadvantage to at&t. Verizon doesn't own 100% of Verizon Wireless. It makes the biggest difference between the 2. If Verizon acquires the rest of VZW, then we will have a Duopoly in the USA.
  2. I just found this on Sprints site this morning. Have they advertised the iPhone 4 this way before? This is just weird to me.

    You need armor piercing darts there Sgt. Hopefully this new launch window pans out to be true.
  4. Like I said: GREED And it's sad too. My friend is even ready to cancel both her landlines, but the only reason we need to keep one is to be able to fax. Too bad the Sprint Phone connect doesn't do fax yet.
  5. Probably too much power. I only see standard sized Clear modems using that sort of power and connection. USB devices are just too small and the USB port just can't push enough power to it to use that kind of power. But we just won't know until Clearwire starts the upgrade next year.

    I'm with Scott on this one. Very interesting.
  7. Randall Stephenson is trying to fill the shoes of Ed Whitacre Jr., his predecessor and the man that made at&t (SBC) what it is today. He just can't seem to keep pace. And so his greed will be his downfall. If he knew what was good for him, he would back off the merger concept and focus on upgrading the at&t network. Buying competition out only lasts so long, and then Ma Bell will be ripped to shreds for Monopoly status again. I hate to think what would happen in the telecom industry if that were to happen again. In 2005 when SBC bought at&t, I told a friend that Bell South was next to give 'the new at&t' complete control of Cingular, and I was right. It was announced 6 months later. And when I heard it, I said this was going to be bad for competition. The only way that at&t will crash and burn again is if they stop innovating. Blaming the government for their reason to raise prices IMO is treason and they must be punished for it. This isn't marketing. It's just pure GREED. Ed Whitacre Jr. has made a monster and now no one wants to stop it. But it must be stopped. Frankly the government needs to intervene and make at&t divest itself of it's wireless arm and make the wireless company take back on the Cingular name. That will keep the market competition healthy. (Disclaimer) I have bitter feelings against at&t only. I have no bad feelings against Cingular or any other wireless brand. These are just my own opinions, most of which are from past experiences.
  8. That's why I was excited and posted this on here. Hopefully in a short period of time WiMax will be working on the Shift too with ICS so that my crazy slider has some life left in it until my upgrade later this year.
  9. That was until Clearwire stopped deploying WiMax and started going under. Now they are going LTE so he will have more work to do with Clearwire LTE coverage maps!
  10. Some people have reported having problems with the Airave and messaging. It could just be hardware problems with the Airave itself, or because of their ISP then.
  11. I am too, but not when it comes to reading directions.
  12. And the test was done in just 60MHz of bandwidth? I wonder what 100MHz of bandwidth would have done? I don't think we will see this at the beginning with Clearwire, but maybe down the road it's sure possible.
  13. Frankly, I consider that a waste of resources. They could have gotten everything ready for NV, but just put a software restriction in to prevent faster data speeds to maintain their "schedule". Oh well, that's just my opinion.
  14. Ok, so the smartphones worked differently than feature phones did. Thanks for the clarification.
  15. T-Mobile also used GAN in order to do that from what I understand. Their HotSpot@Home routers had that feature built in. Not all phones were compatible with that feature either. If they changed how wifi calling worked in the last 2 years, then I don't know anymore details. Visit this link on Wikipedia for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network UMA is the commercial name of the GAN protocol. Edited to correct Network type name.
