Now that the political dust has finally settled (it even made the news on the BBC) in my fair Commonwealth (for some reason, we're not a State), I can now get back to fully focusing on scouring the webosphere to see what people are saying about enterprise mobility. I was sent a link yesterday by a friend and colleague that I found quite interesting.
The author of the blog entry is someone whom I respect and find to be highly knowledgeable in the world of enterprise mobility. That said, I simply can not agree with his hypothesis.

As most of you have probably seen, Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets eluded this week that his company is considering a tiered pricing model for data. Most people have been up in arms about this, saying that it's just a way for AT&T to not only squeeze more money out of its customers, but better cope with the fact that its network can't handle all the traffic that comes from the iPhone.
I'll say: "Ya...So what?"

Hello from the 48th floor of the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. What a truly amazing view of the New York City skyline from this location. Today was an incredibly wonderful, albeit hectic day. While it was filled with both planned and unplanned meetings, I knew it was going to be a great day by the time I met with the participants of the opening keynote panel I was moderating at the Mobile Business Conference at Interop.

There has been much speculation over the last couple of weeks about T-Mobile making a bid to buy out Sprint...especially after the news that combined, they lost over 500,000 customers in the last quarter.
The common wisdom has been that this would not be a good move for either company, primarily because of the fact that these two companies are on 1) two completely different technology platforms and more importantly 2) there technology roadmaps are divergent.
Call it a slow news week (I won't comment on "Bada Bing"), but this is something that I have actually been thinking about for some time. What if I played The Devil's Advocate and said it was reasonable and plausible? (how's that for a legal term)

The title of the post says it all. After 10 years of being a very loyal customer, I made the switch this weekend from T-Mobile to AT&T. Those who know me well know that I am not (in my personal affairs) a big fan of change - I like stability - and that I am also a very patient person (again, in my personal life). However, I just could no longer stay with T-Mobile because I was no longer "getting more."

Every so often I look back on my blog entries, as well as look at other news in the blogosphere of enterprise mobility and say to myself, now why didn't I think of "that?" Let me tell you briefly about a post that I never wrote a few months back when I was started looking at Cloud Computing and its impact on enterprise mobility.

After months of challenges and changes in strategy, Sprint's XOHM service is now available in Baltimore. Congratulations to Sprint, Clearwire, Google and the rest of the companies that have pumped BILLIONS of dollars into this technology.
Does anyone (other than the companies above) really care at this point?

So, after much hype and anticipation, the T-Mobile G1 smartphone is now out. Google's Android platform will now officially compete with the likes of Symbian, BlackBerry, LiMo, the iPhone and Windows Mobile.
Early reviews of the pre-production devices that were shown at the launch have been mixed, but that's not surprising for a brand new platform. The question is, does the G1 and Google's Android platform have a place in enterprise mobility?

Hello from CTIA Fall 2008. Unlike previous times I have attended this type of show, I have actually carved out some time to walk the show floor to get a feel for the buzz on the floor. There's a fair bit of talk about mobile advertising and other social networking and consumer related mobility initiatives, but that doesn't do much to get my enterprise mobility juices flowing. I guess if anything, it gives me the time to share my views on the recently announced Palm Treo Pro.
