Google will see slowing search business domestically, of course, but they continue to expand in other arenas that take advantage of their competitive positioning. Like Amazon.com and Apple, they make moves based on the opportunity, even if the opportunity may not be apparent to the investment...
October 29, 2008Sprint's WiMax Begins in Baltimore: Why Baltimore, you ask?
Analysis of: With UMB Left Behind, LTE and WiMAX Battle for 4G Supremacy | www.instat.com
Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting
The Baltimore Sprint deployment tells us a lot. In many ways, it shows us the predominance of relationships and ease in choosing a locale as opposed to the attraction of the demographic; if the opposite was the case, Baltimore never would have been selected. As for the LTE v WiMax debate,...
