AT&T announces new data plans, unlimited data nowhere to be seen
Posted on June 2, 2010 | No Comments
Today is a sad day in data land. AT&T have just announced two new mobile data plans with one glaring omission: no more unlimited data.
There is some consolation, though, as those of you currently on unlimited plans are welcome to keep them.
As of June 7, however, any new customers wanting the all-you-can-eat data buffet will be left hungry -- and that includes new iPad owners.

Mobile Data Traffic Expected To Rise 40-Fold Over Next Five Years
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
As smartphones like the iPhone and Android take over the mobile Web, the amount of data traffic going over cellular networks is expected to grow 40-fold over the next five years. UK firm Coda Research Consultancy forecasts that in the U.S. alone mobile handset data traffic will grow from 8 terabytes/month this year to 327 terabytes/month in 2015. That amounts to a 117 percent compound annual growth rate.
A lot of that data will come in the form of mobile Web browsing, with the biggest contributor expected to be mobile video. By 2015, mobile video will account for 68.5 percent of all mobile data usage in the U.S. (or 224 terabytes/month). Coda estimates that 95 million mobile handset subscribers in the U.S. will be watching video on their phones in five years out of a total of 158 million mobile internet users.

Virgin Mobile increases value for prepaid broadband data buckets — $60 for 5GB
Posted on March 3, 2010 | No Comments
Virgin Mobile’s Broadband2Go prepaid 3G data service made a splash last summer by offering no-contract plans that came close to competing with two-year offerings from the likes of Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. The major drawback was that the top plan, at $60, only allowed for 1GB of data usage, whereas you’d get 5GB on a contract plan.

Want to hack the MiFi? You can!
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No CommentsTeam CrunchGear, with a 1-1 record with one no-contest (accidental headbutt in the first round), used one or more MiFi units at CESthis year. The MiFi is a cute little portable Wi-Fi access point that you can use wherever you can get a cellphone signal. It takes the mobile data connection, then outputs it as plain ol'Wi-Fi, which you can then connect to from any computer. It's also pretty hackable.

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.Ericsson demos 42Mbps HSPA Evolution for the laypeople originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:08:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
