Microsoft, Facebook, RIM, and others write to the FCC in support of AT&T-Mobile merger

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has mail. It’s only a page and a paragraph long, but the letter he’s received this week has much gravitas attached to it, coming as it does from a select group of the tech industry’s biggest companies, all of whom are lending their support to AT&T’s proposed acquisition of T-Mobile . Of the eight new proponents of the deal, Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo form a sub-group of software / web content distributors, whereas Qualcomm, RIM, Avaya, Brocade, and Oracle will have been motivated to speak up because they see the takeover as expanding opportunities to sell their mobile and networking hardware. The entire octet agrees that the melding of AT&T and T-Mobile’s networks into one is a requisite move for broadening mobile broadband availability in the US and for keeping the country competitive with the rest of the world. In their words, “an increasingly robust and efficient wireless network is part of a virtuous innovation cycle.” Virtuous for them, perhaps, but what about consumers faced with an increasingly binary choice of mobile carrier? Who shall protect their virtue? Microsoft, Facebook, RIM, and others write to the FCC in support of AT&T-Mobile merger originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:19:00 EST.

Bees, CCD, and Cell phones: Still no Link. « Bug Girl's Blog

PLAN emergency alert system going mobile in NYC and DC this year, nationwide in 2012

If you live in the U.S., you’ve probably seen those anger-inducing emergency alert system test messages that interrupt your favorite programming on a weekly basis. Most of us have never seen the system used in an actual emergency, but come later this year, cell phone users in New York and Washington will have similar alerts pushed to their mobile devices — presumably without the annoying weekly tests. Known as PLAN (Personal Localized Alerting Network), the free service will reportedly only work with smartphones (we’re guessing the GPS comes into play here) on AT&T&T , Sprint and Verizon . The secure messaging network will likely display messages as notifications, rather than texts, and will push to all compatible devices within an affected area based on the phone’s physical location, not just its mobile number. Local, state and federal officials will send notifications in response to disasters and other public safety threats, presidential announcements, and Amber Alerts . In other words: it’ll only be used for actual emergencies, so don’t expect updates on the whereabouts of your favorite captive reptile.

Amazon offers $25 Appstore credit with all Verizon Android phones (one week only)

Remember when new mobile phones didn’t come bundled with free app purchases? Hopefully you do… because that was just yesterday. Beginning now (and for this week only), Amazon Wireless is offering a $25 Appstore credit with each Verizon activation. Now this really goes without saying, but you’ll need to choose an Android device to get this freebie. In other words, choosing the Octane or Cosmos Touch won’t get you far, but if you’d planned on donning green and red anyway, Amazon’s offer seems mighty appealing. The deal ends May 1st, so act quickly if you hope to score those free apps.
