CHEAP FLIGHTS !

This video/song says it all and does not need a whole lot of commenting. It tells the whole story and I would say without much exaggeration. If we’re not there yet 100%, I make any bet we will be soon. URL:  oliversrandomthoughts.wordpress.com

T-Mobile Customers Need New Phones …

if the planned buyout goes through.
I also wonder what this means if I travel to Europe? Since Germany is the home country of T-Mobile and this buyout only affects T-Mobile USA, what are the impacts for the German market and being able to use a AT&T Phone in Germany.
$39 Billion only what a steal!
In 2001, Deutsche Telekom acquired VoiceStream for US$35 billion. The company took its current name, T-Mobile USA, Inc., in September 2002.

AT&T buys T-mobile: The 4G race is on in the US

While it’s true that T-Mobile and AT&T each use GSM technology, the carriers also use different bands of spectrum to deliver their services. Specifically, T-Mobile uses the spectrum it bought in the AWS spectrum auction in 2006 to build its 3G wireless network. AT&T also acquired spectrum in that auction. And it is using this AWS spectrum to build its LTE network. AT&T uses its 850MHz and 1900MHz spectrum to deliver its 3G service. Part of the reason that AT&T wanted T-Mobile in the first place was to get more of the AWS spectrum for its LTE network. Meanwhile, T-Mobile has no additional spectrum to deploy LTE, since it’s been using the AWS spectrum for its 3G service. What this means is that once AT&T and T-Mobile merge, AT&T will have to move all of T-Mobile’s existing 3G customers (which includes the supposed 4G HSPA+ customers) to AT&T’s 850MHz and 1900MHz spectrum. This means T-Mobile customers will need new handsets, since the existing T-Mobile 3G HSPA and 4G HSPA+ handsets will no longer work on the AWS spectrum.

Of course, integration still takes time - even for compatible networks. CNET’s Maggie Reardon perfectly sums up the 4G challenges that lie ahead for AT&T in integrating T-Mobile (if the deal gets regulatory approval):

AT&T Is Acquiring T-Mobile For $39 Bil.

About 15 years ago I have vowed to stay away from AT&T forever after getting screwed over left and right at our business and at home.
Guess it means I will have to switch cell phone providers, even I liked T-Mobile. URL:  techcrunch.com

Top 100 Socially Networked Cities

Can't believe that Santa Ana, CA is only on 74th place and Atlanta on #2. I have been to more and bigger social network events in Orange County than when I lived in Atlanta. Then again Atlanta has many church sponsored networking events (... hence "Bible Belt"). URL:  twitter.com
