- Is Long Term Evolution Technology Really Needed So Urgently?
- Dean Bubley submits: There was an interesting story in yesterday's Fierce Wireless that apparently Long Term Evolution (LTE) is needed urgently in 2010 to avert a capacity crunch for mobile broadband. Well, I guess that means we're on for a crunch, then. I'm not expecting to see any major...

- WiFi Direct: Helping to Break the Link Between Wireless SIM and Personal Identity
- Dean Bubley submits: One of the claims that the mobile industry likes to perpetuate is that SIM cards and subscriptions are "personal" and therefore position cellular operators as ideal providers of identity management services. I've long thought that there were lots of assumptions about the one phone = one...

- Will the Amazon / AT&T Kindle Deal Herald the Arrival of 'Dumb Roaming Pipes'?
- Dean Bubley submits: Reading between the lines of the Amazon AMZN Kindle 2 announcement, it seems that Amazon may have worked out a method for solving one of mobile application and device developers' biggest problems: how to avoid hiring an army of lawyers and commercial personnel to put in...

- Nokia Using Windows, Microsoft Using Java
- Dean Bubley submits: I'm horribly busy so don't have time to write reams of analysis, but the juxtaposition of two announcements Monday really caught my eye:1) Nokia NOK announcing a Windows-based netbook (sorry, "booklet"). I wonder if they'll ship all of them with 3G modems embedded - how will...

- Apple iPhone 3G S: No Serious Overhaul Here
- Dean Bubley submits: Just had a quick glance at the new iPhone specs.Interesting that it's just an incremental advance rather than a serious overhaul - I was expecting either a mini / nano version, or a souped-up one. by Dean Bubley

- WiMAX Forum and LTE Summit - A Tale of Two Conferences
- Dean Bubley submits: I've been in Amsterdam with the WiMAX Forum for the past couple of days, at their global summit event. It's been an interesting contrast with the LTE Summit in Berlin a fortnight ago.In format terms, the LTE event was more of a traditional conference, with bigger...

- Google Voice: Speculating on VoIP Partnerships
- Dean Bubley submits: Google GOOG has launched its revamped Voice service, formed on the basis of its GrandCentral acquisition. At the moment it looks like it's mostly PC-based, and dovetails with Gmail.Predictably, the world & his dog are putting two and two together (Voice + Android) and calling it...

- Masters at Game Theory: Nokia and Skype
- Dean Bubley submits: Various mobile operators are allegedly "furious" that Nokia NOK intends to put some form of Skype client on upcoming devices like the N97.It's not immediately obvious to me whether it's a full two-way mobile VoIP service intended for use on HSPA, or whether it's an iSkoot-type circuit...

- U.K. Mobile Broadband Slowdown Comes as No Surprise
- Dean Bubley submits: Sometimes not all the most interesting news is available online. I get the paper edition of the U.K. mobile trade magazine, Mobile Today - and a front page article from a week ago doesn't seem to have made it to the website.The article is quite short,...

- Ericsson: A Handset API Broker?

- Google's Using My Pipes for (Almost) Free!
- Dean Bubley submits: Tip of that hat to Tim Poulus for pointing me towards this amusingly partisan "study" about the fact that consumers - and implicitly their broadband providers - are "subsidising" Google's GOOG use of the Internet access. Sponsored by a "a pro-competition e-forum funded by broadband interests"...

- Nokia's New Product Blurs the Featurephone / Smartphone Divide
- Dean Bubley submits: Nokia's NOK new 6260 Slide, which is due for release in early 2009 at around €299 unlocked is technically a featurephone, as it's based on Nokia's proprietary S40 platform rather than its open smartphone S60/Symbian OS. Although with a 5MP camera, 320x480 screen, GPS and maps,...

- Vodafone's Blackberry Phone Sans Wifi: A Big Mistake?
- Dean Bubley submits: In the past, I've not been convinced by some of the conspiracy theories around some operators' alleged rabid disapproval of WiFi. Yes, Verizon VZ has been a bit of an outlier on this, and some parts of Asia (China, Japan, Korea) have not been especially enthusiastic...

- The Unspoken Threat Facing Telecoms
- Dean Bubley submits: I have long been of the view that the greatest challenge to operators' hold on mobile value-added services will not necessarily come from Google GOOG, Skype and other Internet players. It will come from each other.The unspoken threat has been that other MNOs could represent the...

- An SIM Free Option for LTE Should Exist
- Dean Bubley submits: In terms of general market perception, LTE has been stealing much of WiMAX's thunder of late. Now obviously we've seen the ascendance of LTE coinciding with one of the periodic nadirs of enthusiasm around WiMAX, and we should start to see the balance redress somewhat when Xohm...
