Everything broadband was supposed to do in 1999 terms (per endless, mind-numbing trade show panel discussions) seems to be offered by Google today including a range of video products, an emerging cloud computing music service, free VoIP, mobility and location based services and a suite of collaboration platforms. In this report, we explore the notion that Google is not just driving broadband but rather Google is Broadband. With a continual stream of innovation, acquisitions, and new applications, it is not a stretch to say that Google (and its competitors) is a big reason for the push for ever increasing bandwidth in both the fixed and mobile domain.

The stunning success of Apple in the handset market has made them the darlings of the industry. The wireless world is their oyster, so to speak. There is great anticipation that they will move on and be successful in the CMDA marketplace (with Verizon), once their sales exclusivity agreement with ATT is complete (which ends later this year). While there have been preliminary announcements of product plans with Verizon, to date, there has no product announcements or details. This paper will examine what is happening here and speculate on the reasons for what we are observing.

ATT, Net Neutrality & FCC - There's more to the story

July 2010

Single-user License: $ 95 USD
Company-wide License: $ 295 USD
Team License (Up to 5 Users): $ 185 USD

Mark Csernica Comments on Andy Kessler's Opinion "The iPhone, Net Neutrality and the FCC" in the 6/11/2010 Wall Street Journal. The article laments ATT's implementation of usage-based wireless data pricing, and ATT continuing "chess match" with the FCC over imposing network neutrality rules on Wireless. Mr Kessler argues that the ATT changed its pricing strategy as part of a strategy to combat FCC's plans to implement network neutrality. This is at the expense of product developers (i.e., Apple), application developers and ultimately the consumer. With network neutrality, Mr. Kessler points out competition will be promoted, keeping pricing fair and reasonable, ultimately benefitting the consumer. Without network neutrality, there is no protection for the consumer.
