  • India’s 3G auction draws to a close

    India’s 3G auction draws to a close

    Posted on May 19, 2010 | No Comments
    It's been a long time coming, but after countless delays in getting the auction underway, bidding on nationwide 3G spectrum in the world's second most populous market has ended -- and four companies appear to have come out on top. Most of the Indian markets only had three licenses available, so you'll likely be doing some roaming if you travel much, but Reliance, Bharti, Aircel, and Tata have all come away with significant swaths of airspace. And how much did it end up costing for the privilege of delivering high-speed wireless 'round these parts? After kicking off India-wide bidding for one slot at 35 billion rupees (about $773 million), the auction wrapped up at 167.51 billion rupees ($3.7 billion) after some 183 rounds of bidding in just over a month. Now, the hard part: actually building those 3G networks. Chop chop, guys!

    Apple and global carriers raise OTA iPhone app download limit to 20MB

    Posted on February 18, 2010 | No Comments
    One thing I really love about the iPhone is discovering a new app while I'm out on the town, ignoring friends and family for my phone. I'll check out reviews, look at some screen shots and take the plunge. Then the unexpected happens: the app won't download because the file size is too big.

  • Ericsson demos 42Mbps HSPA Evolution for the laypeople

    Ericsson demos 42Mbps HSPA Evolution for the laypeople

    Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
    Talk about making good on a promise... and then some. Back in March, Ericsson proudly proclaimed that it would be able to make 21Mbps look like child's play by reaching 28Mbps before the dawn of 2010, and now the company is tooting its horn once more after demonstrating 42Mbps equipment to common folk over in Stockholm, Sweden. Reportedly, it's the planet's first 42Mbps HSPA achievement on commercial products, and better still, it's now available for mass deployment. Unfortunately, details beyond that were few and far between -- we're guessing Ericsson just needed an avenue to gloat -- but we suspect carriers like Telstra will be pushing out their own releases once the upgrades start rolling out. Granted, we've seen mobile data rates tickle the 42Mbps mark before, but those showcases were hardly ready for public consumption. Meanwhile, Verizon and AT&T are spending bundles arguing about their comparatively glacial "3G networks." Way to go, America.
