Back to low-power GSM: licence exempt?

Dean Bubley's Disruptive Wireless (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009

I'm at eComm in Amsterdam - and currently listening to a very interesting presentation from James Body (historically with Truphone but wearing a different hat today). A few years ago, I wrote about the UK's low-power GSM auctions, and the subsequent slow-burn deployment of various GSM picocell-based services from companies like Teleware. It's never really lived up to its promise, though. I hadn't realised...

Remainders: Stuff We Didn't Post (And Why) [Remainders]

Gizmodo (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009

I have a splitting headache. There was so much real news today, mostly Android -y, we happily skipped this junk: GM's Wi-Fi, Apple Store POS, Virgin/Helio, Xbox Sky and a Blu-ray player only dumb people will buy. Dun dun DUN. GM's offering in-car internet for $500 and +$29 a month. Great! This is a stupid thing to get—think about devices like the MiFi , and ask yourself who would buy this. Plus,...

Five Disruptions in India’s Mobile Industry: 2 - MVNO

Emergic (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009

MVNOs don’t set up their own network - they piggyback on an existing operator’s network. They do, however, create their own brand and go-to-market strategy, and [...]

Virgin Mobile looks ready to euthanize Helio brand, Ocean 2 vanishes

Engadget Mobile (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009

Filed under: Handsets , Pantech , MVNOs Back in our day, the kiddies all ran around with Helios , VK Mobile looked like it could be the next Pantech , and " Kickflip " was a phone, not a skateboarding move. Okay, fine -- we knew like one or two people that used Helio, VK Mobile never even made a dent in the US market, and skateboarding had a lock on kickflips long before the wireless industry...

Five Disruptions in India’s Mobile Industry: 1 - MNP

Emergic (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009

As part of my Interop keynote, I discussed five disruptions that we are going to see going ahead in the mobile industry in India. A single slide doesn’t necessarily do justice, so I thought I would elaborate on each of the five themes: MNP, MVNO, 3G, Voice Competition and VAS Competition. Mobile Number Portability (MNP) MNP is [...]

bharatbook | 10/16/2009

With our telecommunications analysts anticipating the mobile market to slowdown on account of maturity, elevated further by the launch of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), we highlight the importance of 3G service adoption as operators concentrate less on growth remaining in the prepaid sector, and instead on retaining customer loyalty and improved services.
