I Endorse WiMAX

Hi Everyone,
Amid all the news about the election today, I wanted to remind everyone that the Federal Communication Commission will also be voting today on the approval of the Sprint-Clearwire joint venture to create a nationwide WiMAX network.  This is a very important vote for the wireless industry, and is very important for the future [...]

Disruptive WiMAX

Looking back at the progression of wireless, it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since the cell phone of 20 years ago.  It was 28 ounces (compared to the 5.5 ounce Blackberry Storm), cost a whopping $2,500 and had just one hour of battery life.  These days we have iPhones and [...]

What WiMAX Means for You

 
Sometimes, when the media talks about WiMAX, they focus on spectrum and GHz, making it easy to overlook the big picture.  I’d like to bring WiMAX back into focus for a second, and try to give my readers a clear picture of what the recent launch of WiMAX means for you.

WiMAX in Chicago!

 
Hi Everyone!  
 
Some of my blog readers have asked that I start posting more news about Towerstream on the blog, so I will be doing more of that in the future.  I think it’s the right time, as the WiMAX space is facing such a strong period of growth.

Baltimore’s “Raven” About WiMAX

It’s official.  Sprint Nextel has launched its first WiMAX network – in Baltimore, MD.  
 
 This heavily anticipated network roll-out is just the beginning. According to a USA Today article by Leslie Cauley, voice services will eventually be added and “WiMax networks are under construction in Washington, D.C.; Portland, Ore.; Philadelphia; Dallas/Fort Worth; and Chicago. All are [...]

Baseball on the Small Screen

 
The regular baseball season is coming to a close.  The Red Sox are fighting to the bitter end for the penant as we gear up for the playoffs.  I love this time of year.
 
The last time I visited Fenway Stadium, there was a controversial call, and the crowd got into an uproar.  Unfortunately, the replay [...]

While the CTIA 08 Doors Close - Networks Open

Hello from San Francisco!
It’s been a crazy few days here at CTIA, but I wanted to take a few minutes to blog about what I’ve seen on the show floor before my flight home takes off.
CTIA tends to focus on applications, software development, and network architecture, and the show this year was home to some [...]

I’m Leavin’ on a Jet Plane – for CTIA

As most of you probably know, the CTIA Wireless IT and Entertainment show kicks off
tomorrow in San Francisco.  CTIA is always buzzing with new, cool products and demos and I am excited to get on a plane and head out tonight. 
 
My schedule at the show is pretty packed, but I am hoping to catch [...]

3-Gee, that took a long time!

With the first mobile WiMAX networks from Sprint and Clearwire expected to launch this fall, consumers, mobile business users, and members of the WiMAX community are now asking – how long will it be before I can get my hands on a mobile WiMAX-enabled handheld device? Last week at the Intel Developer Forum [...]

AT&T Jumping on the WiMAX Bandwagon? Friend or Foe?

Drama, Drama, Teledrama…
The mobile space is facing some growing pains. Sprint and Clearwire are trying to move into a new market. AT&T is opposed. Wait, maybe AT&T is confused?
In a recent interview with USA Today’s Leslie Cauley, AT&T’s new CTO, John Donovan, says the company is on the look out for a [...]
