Hmm. You’d think these days I’m on a total wireless expense management kick, given the above average commentary I have been trying to provide on the subject. Think of it instead as two things: 1) I am trying to provide a broader set of perspectives on the overall enterprise mobility perspective and 2) wireless expenses [...] Wireless Carriers

Are Carriers Set To Change The Wireless Expense Management Landscape?
Hmm. You’d think these days I’m on a total wireless expense management kick, given the above average commentary I have been trying to provide on the subject. Think of it instead as two things: 1) I am trying to provide a broader set of perspectives on the overall enterprise mobility perspective and 2) wireless expenses [...] Can Carriers Sell Enterprise Mobility Solutions Based On Consumer Devices?
Hello from non frozen San Francisco. Although this weekend was very bad for me in terms of the NFL playoffs, I did at least get to spend some time in one of my favorite cities in the country. While taking the public transportation system back from Fisherman’s Wharf, I started thinking about a conversation I [...] Tiered Wireless Data Pricing – Is This A Good Or Bad Thing?
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 [...] Ask What A Carrier Can Do For Your Enterprise Mobility
Hello from New York City and the Mobile Business Expo conference! As you might know, I interviewed Russ McGuire from Sprint for the Inside Looking Out Series a couple of weeks ago. If you’re not already checking out his blog on a (at least semi) regular basis, then let me tell you that you should. [...] 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 [...] Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Russ McGuire
Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Russ McGuire. Russ is vice president of strategy for Sprint…you know the guys who sell the Pre and the Hero. Russ is responsible for developing the strategic vision and strategic framework for the $35B+ telecommunications giant. I first spoke with Russ [...] The Gloves Are Off – Android Style
The weekend here in Boston was strange, to say the least. As usual, the weather forcasters are paid well to be completely wrong (I wish I had that job). Yesterday, I was watching my beloved New England Patriots embarass their opponents from Tennessee in the snow. Yes, snow in October. That’s just wrong. And then [...] Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Cliff Cibelli
Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I spoke with Cliff Cibelli. Alan is a manager at Verizon. Cliff works in the Managed Network Services team – an ex MCI guy. You might be asking yourself “Why Verizon and not Verizon WIRELESS”? Well, I met Cliff just a couple of [...] FMC Takes One More Step Towards Broad Adoption
Those of you who visit this site regularly know how much I am a fan of FMC or Fixed Mobile Convergence. For those of you less familiar with the term, it’s the alphabet soup way of saying you can make or receive your desk calls on your mobile. I’ve been a fan of this type [...] 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 [...]
