According to an FCC announcement, the FCC will officially unveil our first ever national broadband plan at an FCC meeting next Tuesday, March 16, at 10:30 EST. That’s one day earlier than the plan was supposed to be unveiled before Congress.

According to a new press statement from Verizon, the carrier is seeing peak download speeds of 40 to 50 megabits per second and peak upload speeds of 20 to 25 Mbps in the LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless broadband tests they’re conducting in Seattle and Boston.

Acer has displayed its smart phone neo Touch S200, which adopts a 3.8-inch WVGA touch screen. Powered by 1GHz Qualcomm 8250 processor and Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, the neo Touch S200 features 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM, a 5M camera, Bluetooth, GPS and microSD card slot.

AT&T’s femtocell service has expanded into Las Vegas, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The argument about whether or not DOCSIS 3.0 should be inexpensive to quickly deploy to 75 million Americans and how it can level the playing field against telcos for the cable industry.

AT&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.

Charter has debut free upgrades to their company’s Express tier that used to be 5 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, and is now 8 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Charter’s Plus tier has gone from 10 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up to 16 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up. The company’s Max tier has gone from 20 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up to 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up.

Google’s Nexus One coming to Verizon on March 23rd with AT&T soon behind? Mmm, could be!

From the sound of it, ISPs are working with Cisco to design a public relations counterpunch to Google’s announcement, which as we noted at launch is in part designed to give Google policy and political ammunition in the fights over open access, network neutrality, and competition.

Sprint alerted Forbes that the carrier’s first Mobile WiMax handset will launch in the first half of this year. Given the fact that the Sprint/Clearwire Mobile WiMax network has a limited reach of 27 U.S. markets, most of them little, the device will of course be dual mode – switching to Sprint’s EVDO network when Mobile WiMax isn’t available.

Back 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.

Verizon has announced on their blog that the telco is letting owners of select Android-based Verizon Wireless phones use the devices to control their FiOS TV service.

Verizon CTO Dick Lynch says that Verizon’s LTE plans are on track and that the company should launch the faster service in between 25 and 30 markets later this year.

Rumors began circulating late last year that the FCC was considering making line sharing part of their national broadband plan. Line sharing, as most of you know, involves requiring that incumbent carriers lease their networks to new entrants.

Fierce 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.
