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.

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)

You'd think I was having an Apple love fest (or hate fest as the case may be). Truth is, there's a bunch of stuff going on with the platform these days. Have you even seen the news that Apple may be doing something with the good folks at Verizon Wireless for some LTE goodness? I guess there's however one area of enterprise mobility that I haven't talked about in a while that somehow made me think about the iPhone. No, it's not mobile device management. For a change, let's actually talk about the other thing the CIO cares about. Security. Oh ya, that thing.

Well here we go. "Can you hear me now?" is going to take on a new meaning. They might even think about changing the line to "Can you see me now because I'm going so fast....just like The Flash." OK, maybe not THE catchiest tag line in the world (I never pretend to be an advertising genious), but you get the drift. Verizon Wireless' CTO, Dick Lynch, announced this week that his company was going to have LTE running by the end of 2009. I think I had a Keanu moment, where I just stopped and said "Whoa..."

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?

For some months now, we have known that Verizon Wireless, AT&T and presumably T-Mobile will be leveraging LTE for their 4G networks. I've written before that this creates a large problem for Sprint as it would be the odd one out choosing instead to deploy a 4G network based on WiMax. Well now, Alltel announced last week that it also plans on adopting LTE for its 4G network. Is WiMax completely doomed? Will Sprint see the writing on the wall?
