Verizon Purchases 122 AWS-1 Licenses From SpectrumCo, Eliminating Potential Deal For T-Mobile With Cable Companies?
Assuming regulators would approve such a deal, Verizon just screwed the prospects of a T-Mobile hookup with a cable company if the AT&T deal does indeed go all the way south. Verizon Wireless has announced that it is purchasing 122 AWS-1 spectrum licenses for $3.6 billion from SpectrumCo covering 259 million POPS in the United States. SpectrumCo is a joint...

It goes without saying that smartphone exclusivity typically ends at some point, but as we can officially confirm this evening, Verizon has the exclusive launch rights on the Galaxy Nexus. While there is every indication that a T-Mobile HSPA+ compatible model exists, getting it subsidized might take a little longer to achieve than some of you hoped. For now,...

Under normal circumstances, I would have woke up this morning, seen the tweet T-Mobile directed at Verizon and cracked a smile. Instead, I'm focused on watching Seattle area residents beat their future parent company's pride and joy iPhone in speed tests. Of course, who knows how or if Verizon might playfully respond. If I were Verizon i'd respond with a... Read more » Why Choose T-Mobile Over Everyone Else?
Magenta has long been known for its value in pricing and customer service as the reason why most choose it over the other 3 major carriers. Now, with new 4G networks launching and new handsets being available, T-Mobile has published a training sheet for employees detailing exactly why T-Mobile is the best option for consumers. The training sheet focuses on... Read more » T-Mobile FINALLY Takes On Verizon AND AT&T With Carly
So what's the fun in having a great device running a slow network? Well, there is no fun at all according to this new T-Mobile advertisement taking on both Verizon and AT&T. I can't say how happy I am that T-Mobile is extending the fight beyond AT&T and going after the real competition, Verizon. You won't find this ad on tv for another week, so feel free...

If you have been on the Internet at all over the past four days you probably know about the latest announcement. Verizon held a rather exclusive press conference today to announce their partnership with Apple, allowing them to carry a CDMA version of the iPhone. Guess what? The sky hasn’t turned red, the earth hasn’t opened up, pigs aren’t flying and,... Read more » Verizon CTO Calls Out T-Mobile HSPA+
Verizon is showing its usual arrogance over its network via an interview with CTO Tony Melone from Cnet. While I'll be the first to admit, Verizon really outshines the other carriers, including our Magenta at CES, hands down that doesn't mean they have the strongest offering of all. With that in mind, we won't deny that they came out swinging with their... Read more » Verizon Hoping To Keep The iPhone For Itself After AT&T Exclusivity Ends?
Hoping to not get lost in today’s Nexus S news cycle is a report by analyst Shaw Wu of Kaufman Bros who believes that Verizon will pay to keep the iPhone away from Sprint and T-Mobile. I believe it’s safe to say that analyst opinions like this are often steeped in fantasy more so than fact but it’s an interesting proposition. Where we take issue with... Read more » Is Verizon Single-handedly Responsible For Androids Success?
In the midst of yesterdays Verizon LTE announcement, a little ego showed on behalf of Verizon as they proclaimed themselves responsible for the success of Android. “Android really took off when Verizon got involved” is the direct quote from Verizon CTO Tony Melone and comes off pretty matter of fact. T-Mobile was the first carrier to launch Android in the US... Read more »
