                    [Summary] => Two years back I wrote an article about push to talk or PTT over cellular which carriers Verizon and Sprint were gearing up to launch in the US. Unfortunately, their PTT service today remains unsuccessful because of issues on latency, low reliability, coverage and voice quality which a subscribers’ satis-faction survey rated as problem areas. Still, interest in instant communications remains high.

                    [Summary] => Philippine wireless mobile operator Next Mobile (formerly Nextel Communications Philippines Inc.) expects to benefit greatly, both in terms of increased subscriber base and a wider-reaching technology, from the recent merger of  American telecommunications companies Sprint and Nextel. 


"The merger between Sprint and Nextel is the best thing that happens to Next Mobile and its customers using its branded IMX mobile phones," Next Mobile Inc. (NMI) president and CEO Mel Velarde said.

[Summary] => A Sprint-Nextel merger was months ago unthinkable to many. They’re incompatible in technologies (the former is CDMA while the other is IDEN) and their networks overlap in almost all US cities. So where’s the value add?

Nextel’s strength is its ownership of enterprise customers while Sprint’s lies on its wholesale communications packages, strong consumer appeal and strong landline network.

I was so fascinated by communications without wires that my friends and I would use up a bunch of batteries practically daily because of excessive usage. All I needed to do was push a button and I could instantly talk with my partner. Well, you’d think that was technology cremated long ago, especially with the advent of GSM, CDMA and satellite phones, everyone and anyone from any part of the globe was just a few taps away. Guess again.
