Just how bad is AT&T?

Feb 20th 2009 12:44AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I've always had good service with AT&T (been with them since Cingular). When we got 3G here years ago, service got even better. I get 4-5 bars in my iPhone 3G in my basement, which is 3 feet underground.

And 3G speeds kick ass. I have pretty much stopped using Wi-Fi at home because 3G is just as fast and uses less battery.

Why didn't the Russians de-orbit the satellite?

Morons.

The UK is just hating on the American companies.

It's ok. We understand jealously on this side of the pond too.

Verizon's LTE vendor partners to be revealed at MWC

Expect Huawei and Ericsson to get most of Verizon's business.
Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, and Nokia-Siemens are likley for AT&T.

AT&T reportedly eyeing post-merger Verizon Wireless assets

Feb 4th 2009 7:34PM on Engadget

They'd have to lose a ton of customers, like 30 million more.

Even if the FCC said that either company could snatch up Sprint and not face antitrust scrutiny, Sprint's financials are so bad, I don't think either company would want to touch them. While Big Blue and Big Red add around 2 million customers a quarter and have increasing profits, Sprint loses about 750,000 a quarter and has falling profit margins and increasing churn.

In a failing economy, AT&T and Verizon are two of the safest companies.

AT&T reportedly eyeing post-merger Verizon Wireless assets

The wireless industry is a duopoly. AT&T and Verizon are the two big contenders. Yes, Sprint and T-Mobile are national carriers, but AT&T and Verizon pretty much dictate the wireless world. Sprint and T-Mobile both have lower rates, AT&T and Verizon are identically the same rate-wise.

They're buying the assets, which include customers, spectrum licenses, and owned towers/antennas.

I see no reason why the DOJ would reject this. In most of the markets AT&T would be getting, they have local service in the popluation centers or rely on Alltel's GSM network for roaming. This would be bringing in another competitor, which gets the FCC and DOJ wet.

Digital TV delay bill to ride again next week?

Jan 29th 2009 11:08PM on Engadget HD

We're fighting 2 wars, have a self-destructing economy, need to figure out where all the Gitmo prisoners are going, and the Democrats are all stuck up about the DTV transition date?

Give me a break.

Senate okays digital TV transition delay to June 12th

Jan 27th 2009 8:36AM on Engadget HD

Don't these politicians have more important things to do other than worry about the DTV date? This date has been set in stone, now they want to change it.

I hate this administration. One week and they're already pissing me off.

Verizon gets official with Network Extender: $249, no monthly fees

Don't know if it will have a monthly fee, but it does have 3G

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
