JD Power Awards (Mobile)

From JD Power & Associates, the latest call quality surveys are in for the first part of 2009 and they do not bring Sprint-Nextel any good news. In fact, one wonders what the hell Sprint is even doing with Nextel, let alone its Wi-MAX division!

A truly heartfelt, honest article about Gen Ys plight

My friend Neha Tiwari wrote this article that really hit home with me, NOW as Im so fond of saying. A quick primer before you hit the link for the jump, the article discusses the emotional ramifications of being unemployed for 12 consecutive months, while being smart, having a kick ass resume (Which I don't), being in the top of your field and smarter than the 'average bear'.

Ill be 34 in Three weeks and I have never personally been so unsure of my own future as I feel NOW. It will be one full year since I was fired from BMW next month and you would have thought, in this time, I would have figured out something that works for me monetarily, but not yet. I know my future lays in Technology, I know thats what Im great at as well as sales skills, but my query is; how do I put it all together?

Thanks for all of your continued support and lets hope I have what it takes to make it to the next level. Also, please comment on Nehas blog, she reads all of her comments!

What if loggers ran the world, NOW?

Hot on the heels of Sprint Nextel's Wi-MAX 4G expansion announcements today, they launched another commercial in their dual disparate TV ad campaign's. Why they continue to promote iDen while its a dead technology, I have no clue (this too, will be in my forthcoming article & essay) but non-the-less I understand the need to continue to promote the Nextel name and value proposition.

Carrier Wars: the Sprint Now Network

The Boy Genius Report has been doing something NO ONE else has and that's pool independent data from all across the U.S. from its member base and actually (gasp) independently audit 3G download speeds. Well, the result's are in kids and they will probably shock most 'pro-sumers'. The Now Network beat out ALL competition for having the United States of Americas fastest 3G network by AN AVERAGE of 433kbps for an AVERAGE download speed of 1361kbps!

Of course, as many of you know, I am writing an article on the State of Wireless: 3G & 4G and this story will have some relevant information to contribute that further backs up what I have uncovered thus far in my investigation.

Tweet, NOW on Sprint Speed!

I came across Sprints new vanity wireless 4G MVNO homepage today & it features the cute little Tweet Bird from the cool 'Now Network' commercials! I think its neat that Sprint was the first carrier to embrace Twitter and along with Buzz About Wireless engage in open, positive dialogue with its community and clients. Also, again, Sprint is the only carrier in the United States to offer a "TAKE BACK THE BEEP" program.

So, enjoy the cute little Twitter Bird, share some Tweets and check out the cool video describing the new 4G service.

I am working on a an Editorial on the State of Wireless, what real world speeds are for all four carriers and good, sound data (with fancy graphs) to show it all off. To this day, no one has written a fully factual article on the Wireless Industry and I am going to. It will be biased, it will be opinionated and it will all be factual and layed out clearly. I am not on any ones payroll and I have no sponsors, so I feel I can really shake things up a tad with this.

Thoughts, feedback, suggestions? I would love to incorporate them into the piece!
