Now that the Comcast, Time Warner Cable merger deal has failed, what's next?

I have come to the conclusion that while speed is sexy and sells, quality and reliability are more important. See if you agree. Like cou...
Here we go again. Most everyone who thought Google Glass crossed the privacy line was happy when it appeared the new technology was being shelved. Not so fast.

Xiaomi may soon take its first steps into the U.S. How will it do? I have some suggestions to offer. If it follows them, its chances of success will increase.

I love all the innovation and trends in the wireless, telecom, television, Internet and tech space. However there is also a big warning light flashing ahead that no one is paying attention to...trust is eroding. Trust is a delicate thing and is being ignored.

T-Mobile US strikes again with its new Score offering. Score is like its Jump program for the company's credit-challenged customers. I like all the activity going on at T-Mobile.
