| Nielsen Says Wireless Households on the Rise |
| 2008-09-18 07:56:00 |
Latest Nielsen study suggests that one-in-five households could be wireless-only by year end.This suggests that out of the 20 million US telephone households, appx 17% of the nation's total will rely solely on mobile phones for communicating from their homes. My theory is this number only continues to climb.......

| Are You Ready to ChaCha? |
| 2008-09-17 07:14:00 |
Seriously, until this morning I thought the ChaCha was just a dance (actually, that might be the Cha-Cha-Cha). Either way, it sounds like ChaCha is actually getting a lot of press these days because people are doing the ChaCha on their cell phones....a lot of ChaCha.According to MarketWatch, ChaCha just accepted the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation, and announced that it now has more than a million users and has answered more than 27 million queries since it launched its revolutionary mobile answers service in January.That sounds pretty impressive, and it is. It makes ChaCha the fastest growing mobile search service, surpassing both Google and Yahoo in both WAP and text-based search growth rates (according to the latest data from Nielsen Mobile).What th...

| Mobile Phone: The Key to Teen's Social Life |
| 2008-09-15 07:33:00 |
Below is the complete article posted today on TMCnet by Jyothi Shanbhag focused on the influence of the mobile phone on today's teens.It's a terrific illustration of why companies must change their recruiting strategies to reflect that which is important to GenY and to communicate with them in the manner that gets their attention. In Tim Sanders book, Love is the Killer App, Sanders talks about the importance of ROA versus ROI. We all know what ROI means....what about ROA (Return on Attention)? Sanders says that getting someone's TIME is not nearly as important as getting their ATTENTION. I get that. I give people my TIME all the time....but do they have my ATTENTION? When they really have my attention, they also have the opportunity to begin building trust with me (the first step to devel...

| Another 911 Post - by Steve Levy |
| 2008-09-11 10:04:00 |
Thanks to Steve Levy for permitting me to repost: (his original post is found here).For the past 6 years, 9/11 began the same way for me: Wake at 5 AM, shower and decide which Jones Beach Lifeguard cap I’m going to place at the firefighter memorial sitting outside the Squad 1 firehouse in Park Slope.This particular memorial was never caught up in a same pool of bureaucratic quicksand that has hampered nearly every 9/11 memorial; it was a gift from Oregon firefighters carved from a single stump of wood. On it, three silver plaques list the names of the 343 FDNY firefighters murdered. No billionaire real estate mogul’s ego, no politician attempting to rubber stamp their career with a towering monument of excess, simply the love and respect from fellow firefighters and Americans. As it sh...

| China Mobile's Interest Piqued in LTE? |
| 2008-09-04 09:41:00 |
China Mobile's made our headlines a lot lately. Here's another post that says they want to check out LTE, and fast.Source: one of our faves "FierceBroadBandWireless"The world's largest mobile operator in terms of subscribers, China Mobile, said it was eager to begin testing 4G TD-LTE soon, a time division duplex (TDD) version of LTE that will be backward compatible with the struggling Chinese 3G standard TD-SCDMA. However, the lack of chipsets are holding back its plans.The TD-LTE specs are scheduled to be done by the end of 2008 when the primary LTE system architecture for the frequency division duplex (FDD) is complete. And China Mobile appears to be a driving force to pushing vendors to get equipment out quickly. It's no wonder since it appears the Chinese government will mandate that...

Americans buying fewer but more expensive handsetsSource: TelecomTVAuthor: Martyn WarwickGiven the current state of the US economy, it is hardly surprising to learn that Americans have been buying fewer mobile phones over the past few months. What is strange, given that many retailers and operators are cutting handset prices to tempt consumers to try new models, is that subscribers seem to be spending more on the reduced numbers of handsets that they are buying.A new report from the NPD Group shows that in Q2 this year 28 million mobile handsets were sold in the US, this is a 13 per cent decline on the same period in 2007. Furthermore, it was the third quarter of successive of year-on-year year decline and thus can be characterised as a full-blown trend rather than just a periodic blip.Che...
