In: Communication|Computer|Editorial|Finances|Internet|Networks|Television|Video

In: Apple|broadbandreports.com|Cellphone|Communication|Computer|Finances|iPhone|Networks|Site Feeds|Software|VoIP
3 Mar 2010AT&T is once again dropping hints that the carrier wants to change (read: increase) wireless data pricing. Many investors have been pressuring the company to ditch the $30 unlimited iPhone data plan and instead replace it with some kind of metered billing model.

NBC Lawyer Again Places Foot In Mouth On Piracy Debate – From popcorn farmers to viral tidal waves of evil!
In: broadbandreports.com|Communication|Editorial|Finances|Networks|Rants|Site Feeds|Unusual
20 Feb 2010Back in 2007, NBC lawyer Rick Cotton issued a statement to the FCC demanding they force ISPs to take action against piracy for the sake of the American corn farmer. According to Cotton, piracy was becoming such a menace it was keeping people out of theaters, in turn resulting in less popcorn sold.

Warner Music Commits Evolutionary Seppuku, Won’t Allow Catalog to be Used for Ad-driven Streaming Services
In: Audio|broadbandreports.com|Communication|Computer|Editorial|Finances|MP3|Music|Site Feeds
11 Feb 2010ISPs are seriously considering bundling subscription music services like Spotify and others for a small additional, optional fee. Spotify, which offers users streaming access to music free with ads or for a monthly fee, is one way the recording industry can shake off the impacts of piracy without resorting to suing children and grandmothers. But Warner Music apparently is having none of it.

In: broadbandreports.com|Cellphone|Communication|Editorial|Finances|Gadgets|Hardware|Networks|Site Feeds|Software|Wireless
10 Feb 2010Fierce Wireless asks a number of vendors who make a living off of billing systems their thoughts on metered billing in the wireless space, and unsurprisingly is told by each one that a shift to metered billing is “inevitable” in wireless.

Big Carriers May Apply For Second Round Stimulus Funds
In: Communication|Computer|Editorial|Finances|Hardware|Internet|Networks|Site Feeds|Software
6 Feb 2010As the broadband stimulus bill was being hashed out, you’ll recall it was stripped of some very lucrative, carrier-lobbied-for tax credits that would have given companies like Verizon billions for doing absolutely nothing differently.

AT&T Makes SMS Plans Mandatory For Many Phones
In: broadbandreports.com|Cellphone|Communication|Computer|Editorial|Finances|Hardware|Networks|Premium|Site Feeds|Software|Wireless
2 Feb 2010Previously, both AT&T and Verizon had only made data mandatory for smartphones. Apparently, neither carrier wants you buying an Internet-enabled phone, then only using free Wi-Fi instead of their pricey 3G networks. From the sound of things, now carriers don’t want you using free IM services instead of SMS, either.
