HTC Android vs 3G iPhone

September 22, 2008

'Android' Cellphone to Showcase Google Brand | online.wsj.com

The HTC Android phone will be closely compared with the 3G iPhone.  Most likely the look and feel won't be as sleek as the iPhone.  However, Android phones will have the processing speed that is hard to beat.  In addition, the open handset model features may not initially be impressive.  But as time goes on, when the application development community catches on, there will be some impressive apps coming out...

Focus Wireless's Business Model

March 18, 2008

Focus Media's Subsidiary Accused Of Sending Chinese Spam Wireless Messages | www.chinatechnews.com

Simply put, Focus Wireless collects mobile subscriber numbers and private information through legal or illegal means, processes the subscriber data into categories such as business owner, car owners, bank VIPs, etc...  Focus Wireless then tries to target the mobile subscribers with targeted advertisements via spam SMSs.  The SMSs are sent out by its subsidiary companies or its partners. The problem of Focus Wireless is the scale to which they have employed this kind of questionable business practice.  They claim that they can reach 200 million subscribers.  The CCTV's investigation has created a discussions and debates on the Internet on where the boundaries lie for SMS-based targeted advertisement.

WiMax is 3G | www.wirelessweek.com

This is a significant milestone in the business sense.  So far, Wimax had been viewed as a threat to the incumbents from the left field.  With this approval by ITU, it begins to legitimize WiMax among the cellular incumbents.

October 4, 2007

Chipset vendors jostle for position in WiMAX handsets | www.wimaxtrends.com

The strongest supporter of WiMax Intel has announced that it will embed its WiMax technology in the processor dubbed Montevina in May of 2008. Intel intends to establish their own Intel-based handsets as well. The biggest US WiMax operator Sprint Nextel also announced that they will deploy WiMax to cover about 30ish cities at around the same time. Sprint Nextel has selected Intel, Motorola and Samsung as its vendors. Motorola recently announced its WiMax chipset for handheld devices which is scheduled to debut beginning of 2008. Samsung has already gained two years of experience through the deployment of WiBro (Korean version of WiMax) with large Korean operators.  NextWave will release baseband chip with an integrated WiMax/Wi-Fi system-on-chip. Its WiMax interface will meet global TDD and FDD spectrum allocations from 1.7-3.8 GHz.

Short-term and Long-term View of Motorola's Cell Phone Business

October 4, 2007

Motorola Back On Track | www.forbes.com

Over the long-term (five years and out), the low-cost Asian phone manufacturers are becoming more competitive with features and low cost, making it diffult for the large vendors to sustain their R&D in the US or Europe.  In the short run, the Asian manufactures are still more focused on the low to medium end phones as they grow their R&D capabilities for high end phones such as smart phones.  In addition, the iPhones and G-phones (By Google) will have their own brand and even their own subscribers.  They will outsource phone manufacturing and even design to Asia. (e.g., iPhones were manufactured in China)

Ampd Mobile is having Money Trouble

May 29, 2007

Adderton Leaving Amp’d Mobile? Board Struggles -- Money Problems for Ampd | gigaom.com

  Apparently Peter Adderton, Amp’d CEO hasn’t left the building… for now. Valleywag reported that the mobile maverick was out, a rumor we had heard a few weeks ago, but it was denied by the company. Adderton tells PE Hub that he is still the big cheese. Regardless of his status it seems the company is going through a tenuous period. A variety of sources say that there is trouble brewing, mostly around the issue of subscribers. Our sources say that lack of stringent credit checks and other issues have resulted in a ‘collections nightmare’ as one source put it. Amp’d’s normally attentive PR company has suddenly gone MIA.

Wi-Fi Carrier Potential is Misunderstood

July 27, 2006

Mobile operators face wi-fi challenge | technology.guardian.co.uk

The Carrier is more than a spectrum landlord.
Even if spectrum was suddenly limitless and free the existing carriers would still have significant scale and experience providing advantages over new wi-fi startups. An analysis of North American carrier cash cost per user (CCPU) proves this.

Wi-Fi can potentially free up spectrum for carriers.
If a carrier has a number of subscribers using wi-fi in their homes that leave excess spectrum capacity in the same geographic area. 

Technology advances will overcome current limitations.
Yes battery life is an issue but it has improved 3x in the last year. Yes coverage has limitations and hand offs have been a challenge but the advances made by wi-fi and wimax vendors in the last year are encouraging.
