SMS - The Little Engine That Keeps Driving the Mobile Industry
Analysis of: Text-Messaging Rates Come Under Scrutiny | online.wsj.com
Author: Tal Raeside, Managing Director, Insight Strategic Services

Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting
In this article, I discuss 10 points on why the Apple iPhone has made mobile / mobile Web / mobile commerce the most important opportunity of the coming year. Whether it is the four "killer apps" on the iPhone, carrier disintermediation in tandem with Google, the speed to 4G, or the way it has...
July 22, 2008Sprint's PTT, aka a return to 8-track tapes: Are you kidding me?
Analysis of: Consumer push-to-talk: Does anyone really care ‘where you at?’ | telephonyonline.com

LTE is going to win WiMax
