LTE operators hold back WiMAX or just need a decision? | 08-21-2008
Analysis of: Ofcom knocks back spectrum auction | www.theregister.co.uk
Author: Peter Curnow-Ford, Non-Executive Chairman, Instruvention Ltd

The real issue here is one of knowing what the regulatory position is going to be 3 to 4 years out. Will the mobile operators be allowed to re-farm their 2G spectrum, will they be able to use the technology of their choosing and then work the investment plans to make it happen? Is the regulator doing...

WiMAX is not Cellular | 08-21-2008

Sprint's PTT, aka a return to 8-track tapes: Are you kidding me? | 07-22-2008
Author: Kenneth Eisner, Principal, Eisner Consulting

In general, I think Sprint has made a never-ending flow of tragic mistakes since their merger with Nextel.  But I rarely see a mistake so obviously devoid of consumer misunderstanding that a PTT revival.  These guys need a suitor, fast.
