Should Sprint and T-Mobile Combine?
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 [...] Carrier Marginalization Part II: Verizon Wireless vs. App Stores
There was much being said in the last 48 hours regarding the rumor that Verizon Wireless had scrapped its plans to offer Palm’s webOS based Pre in early 2010 once its exclusivity to Sprint expires. Then we saw the expected response from Palm itself as it holds the party line to continue offering its devices on [...] Can FOTA Further Marginalize Carriers?
There’s a new article at Information Week that discusses how Microsoft is planning on providing updates to its mobile OS directly to users, much like Apple, Palm and Google do for their respective OSs. I think this is a great thing, but it made me start to think about how this will impact carriers. AT&T Wireless Customers In The Enterprise
Does your organization use AT&T as a wireless carrier? Are you considering switching to or from AT&T? This PowerPoint presentation profiles the behavior of 184 organizations that use AT&T Wireless’ network (as opposed to any other carrier) in order to glean insights into the different drivers for enterprise mobility adoption and their associated benefits. The [...] What $99 Means To Enterprise Mobility
$99. That doesn’t get you much these days. My dad, bless his soul, used to tell me when he could buy a loaf of bread for $.05 (mind you, he was born in 1930). He also told me he walked uphill – both ways – to school, but I digress. Nowadays, you can spend $100 [...] The Palm Pre and webOS Are Now Only Two Days Away
There were some interesting announcements that came out last week that I didn’t get a chance to comment on, but now with the Palm Pre only TWO days away, I guess I should get to them. With the incredibly hyped media (you actually have to wonder if all this hype is a good thing – [...] BES & BIS vs. ActiveSync and SCMDM
Greetings from 35,000 ft above somewhere as I make my way to Phoenix for my speaking engagement. My trip started off on the right note when the flight to Chicago was delayed 30 minutes with no ETA as to when we would actually be taking off. Given that I have to be in Phoenix this [...] Apple Is The New McDonald’s
You’re probably asking yourself “what the heck is Philippe thinking this time???” I’ll admit, I may have gotten a little too much sun today on the golf course – I may also be giddy that the Red Sox are doing quite well this weekend against the New York Yankees. No, I have not lost my [...] iPhone 3.0 Still Won’t Be Enterprise Ready
As you probably know, Apple held a special event yesterday to discuss its plans for version 3 of its iPhone OS. As usual, speculation was rampant with people all around the web even posting their predictions on YouTube. I wasn’t able to actually listen in on the live event – funny how other meetings can [...] Time For A Change: Goodbye T-Mobile, Hello AT&T
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 [...]
