  1. Verizon seems like they really want to get out of the wired lines business. Maybe they ought to consider buying Dish and setting their wired division to Centurylink or some other company that wants to be in that business. That way they can still leverage their satellite business to offer content. If I were Sprint, I might try the opposite tack. Staying out of the content game and being a wireless provider and Tier 1 ISP. Much like they are doing with their RRPP, maybe they expand their fiber network and provide backhaul for many CLECs?
  2. Anyone think we will get a second update for Stagefright? According to the Stagefright Detector app from Zimperium, the patch fixed 5 of the CVE-2015 Stagefright related vulnerabilities (3828, 3824, 3829, 3827, and 1538). However, CVE-2015-3864 still seems to be affecting the M8.
  3. With TDD you can set different ratios for uplink and downlink. The catch is they can't vary from site to site, or they would step all over each other.
  4. Why bother even having buildout requirements if you aren't going to bother enforcing them?
  5. Frankly, improvements in reception are more important to me than support for aggregating more than 2 carriers. At least on mobile devices. I could see wanting 3xCA on built into a netbook or laptop though.
  6. Exactly! When creating content, you ideally start with a higher quality/resolution source than you will use for final distribution. Just because you have a 4k (or 6k, 8k) source material, doesn't mean it needs to be distributed in that form for consumption. Frankly most people can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080p on their biggish screen TVs because they sit too far away from them. Now that's not true on larger screens when people sit closer, but on a 37 or 42 in TV, when people are sitting 6-8 feet away...
  7. I like to think it's more helpful to think about it in terms of DPI and distance from the screen. A 50 inch TV and a phone with a 5 inch screen might both be "1080p" but the DPI on the phone screen is ten times higher because you are jamming those pixels into a screen one tenth the size. Now you are usually much closer to the mobile screen too, but frankly, unless you are sitting at distances more typical of a computer monitor, I think 2k and 4k displays are kind of a waste as TVs go.
  8. I'd guess that it's cheaper for them to deploy one of these routers than an airrave.
