802.11ac is Almost Here

802.11ac is Almost Here

By Guest Authors on March 20, 2013

802.11ac will start appearing in force in products this year. It is the latest and greatest Wi-Fi standard that will replace 802.11a, b, and g. It will receive final approval this year. Now, considering how long it has taken the working group, and how many man hours they have put into it that it would solve […]

The Tethering / Hotspot Debate: No, You're Not a Thief. But Somebody Else is a Highway Robber.

The Tethering / Hotspot Debate: No, You’re Not a Thief. But Somebody Else is a Highway Robber.

By Zoli Erdos on April 4, 2011

Interesting debate at ZDNet over wireless data plans:  James Kendrick claims that unpaid tethering makes you a thief.   Thankfully his fellow ZDNet-er Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has the common sense to dispute  this tethering thief nonsense. Yes, technically if your wireless contract includes an anti-hotspot clause and you turn this feature on, you are in violation. Of […]

Alcatel-Lucent Is Damn Serious About Their Plans To Make Wireless Carriers Relevant

Alcatel-Lucent Is Damn Serious About Their Plans To Make Wireless Carriers Relevant

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 2, 2010

Ever since Apple unleashed iPhone and changed the people’s perspective on their mobile phones, wireless providers were grappling with a future where their networks are fast becoming dump pipes. Even though iPhone itself is a walled garden of some kind, it (along with other Android based devices) helped tear down the walls built up by […]

NTP is the New SCO

NTP is the New SCO

By Zoli Erdos on July 9, 2010

NTP, the shell company whose only business is to extract ransom from real businesses does not sit on the $600 they extorted from RIM.  They are now suing just about all the smartphone industry: Apple, Google, HTC, Microsoft, LG and Motorola. Is NTP the new SCO? Related posts: NTP Sues Apple, Google, Microsoft And Others […]

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life.  Part# 2.

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life. Part# 2.

By Zoli Erdos on June 24, 2010

<sarcasm> What’s wrong with the iPhone? – asks Mashable.  They even created this useful (?)  infographic: Well, let’s see: Yellow dots or band – So what?  Have you not heard of personalization? Why would you all want the same boring screen? Reception – That’s your $ saver, dummy.  Besides, do you really want to fry […]

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

Your Own (Almost) Ad-Hoc HotSpot

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2010

If you’re a frequent traveler, you’re likely better off buying a MiFi or using your late-model cell-phone’s HotSpot capability than paying those outrageous hotel surcharges.  If you’re a frequent conference-goer, you’ve already learned they all fail to provide reliable connection(Web 2.0, LeWeb, Gnomedex, Microsoft PDC, Google I/O, just to name a few recent examples), so […]

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life.

By Zoli Erdos on June 16, 2010

<sarcasm> I’m sick of all this whining within the iFamily.  These iBozos just don’t appreciate all the goodness they have. iPhone preorder systems failed.  So what?  You’ve just saved a boatload of money, be happy, get a life! Yet another At&T security breach. What’s the big deal?  All your data is public anyway, has been […]

The Chaos of BYOW (Bring Your Own Wi-Fi)

The Chaos of BYOW (Bring Your Own Wi-Fi)

By Zoli Erdos on June 15, 2010

It all started as an innocent joke: Robert Scoble was sitting in the front row @ Apple’s WWDC conference while I was following the tweetstream from home.  Little did we know out joke would soon turn serious, as Steve Job’s keynote demo crashed when his shiny new iPhone 4 could not get a network connection.  […]

FacePalm

FacePalm

By Guest Authors on June 8, 2010

The future is here according to Steve Jobs. Maybe he should tell Pixar to make “Back to the Future 4″ cause there sure were a lot of “time travellers” who tried video-calling five years ago. Video calling is fun. Once. Then you never use it again. I’m surprised Apple is pushing FaceTime the way they […]

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone - With Utter Web Failure

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone – With Utter Web Failure

By Zoli Erdos on June 4, 2010

The HTC EVO Android phone is the ultimate weapon that’ supposed to turn Sprint’s weak business around.  Yes, the phone is really incredible (not Incredible, that’s another model), but that does not change the fact that Spring is welcoming it with utter failure.  Customers attempting to buy it get to stare at this message forever: […]

Time for Device Independent Data Plans

Time for Device Independent Data Plans

By Zoli Erdos on January 27, 2010

The Apple iPad event is still on, and the Internet is crumbling… Twitter barely crawls, CoveritLive isn’t exactly live, the major sites providing blog coverage are barely accessible… this is iKill – the day Apple Killed The Net. 🙁 But I want to talk about something more important: It’s a screenshot from Engadget’s coverage.  Yes, […]

Areas I’m most likely to invest in during 2010

Areas I’m most likely to invest in during 2010

By Derek Pilling on January 5, 2010

I have always been fairly thematic in my investment approach. For me, the process starts with identifying big markets that are either 1) emerging (and will therefore be created over the next several years) or 2) undergoing some structural shift that will enable new entrants to grab market share from incumbents. I have seen Companies succeed in […]
