Since February of last year, at least five virtual multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) services have been introduced. Granted, some of these are still in their testing stages, but there are a number that are already made widely available for consumers. With an approach that sticks to the basics in delivering video content to customers, these MVPD services look to threaten pay TV services which rely on customer premises equipment (CPE), truck rolls, and credit checks. Let’s take a look at some of them:
You may have already heard by now that Samsung has finally formally introduced its flagship devices for this year. A day before the annual Mobile World Congress is set to start in the city of Barcelona in Spain, the South Korean tech giant has unveiled its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge devices.
The Federal Communications Commission is planning to conduct an auction of previously TV owned airwaves, to be bid upon by various wireless carriers looking to enhance their mobile network coverage. But due to recent slow growth in the wireless industry, as well as the ongoing price wars, some carrier bidders are rather cash strapped at the moment. This could mean that the money generated from the upcoming auction could fail to meet the expected yield.
While other companies took the opportunity to promote their latest tech products and services during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show held in the city of Las Vegas in Nevada, AT&T looked to the future instead, talking about smart cities, connected cars, and glucose monitors that could turn into a reality in the next few years.
Years before Edward Snowden made his revelations regarding the United States National Security Agency (NSA), there was a company called Carrier IQ, which became an embodiment of Big Brother monitoring every move a mobile user makes on his smartphone. Then, Carrier IQ was carrying out its stalking duties on behalf of wireless carriers and mobile manufacturers, supposedly with the aim of improving overall user experience.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially released its yearly report on the state of competition in the United States mobile industry. Just like before, the agency has refused to make a definite conclusion, as reported by Broadcasting & Cable.
In an increasingly mobile world where everybody is glued to their smartphones and tablet devices surfing the Internet, browsing social media, watching videos or listening to streamed music, the need for a faster, better cellular network is as high as ever. But the truth of the matter is, building an improved cellular network often takes some time.
Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint may be considered the four biggest wireless carriers in the United States in terms of size of customer base and vastness of network coverage. But when it comes to customer satisfaction, the Big Four’s performance leaves much to be desired. Well, at least according to the results of Consumer Reports’ latest survey.
Are you currently subscribed to one of AT&T’s old unlimited data plans? You might want to reconsider continuing to avail of these plans beginning next year. That is because the second biggest wireless carrier in the United States is planning to increase the price of its grandfathered unlimited data plan by February of 2016.
