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.

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

mimoOn announced it will be participating in the Femtozone at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona 15-18 February 2010. The Femtozone (Hall 1, Stand G19) is an area hosted by the Femto Forum, dedicated to featuring the leading companies in femtocell development, and will display the latest in femtocell markets, devices, and technology.

Previously, 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.

A new filing with the FCC indicates that the Google phone, the Nexus One, will eventually be coming to AT&T’s network as well.

Apple announced that AT&T would be the exclusive partner for the new iPad, and contrary to expectations – no Verizon (EVDO) compatible iPhone was announced.

Buried under the roar of the media’s obsession with Apple’s looming tablet computer this week was a tiny little story about an agency you might have heard about (the FBI) repeatedly breaking the law by faking terrorism emergencies in order to get phone customer data.

AT&T today announced new unlimited plans across all devices – including its industry-leading lineup of smartphones – to provide more value and choice for customers who want to talk, text and surf on the nation’s fastest 3G network.

Over the last six months, many AT&T employees have told us they expect the telco to continue laying off a considerable number of workers in 2010.

Judging from some leaked AT&T talking points posted to our forums, AT&T is getting ready to hit regular DSL customers with some price hikes as well.

Google has a lot of good plans for Google Voice in 2010 after acquiring Gizmo5. AT&T and Verizon need to innovate or adapt, haven’t shown that they will.

The upcoming Google phone (aka the “Nexus One”) already indicated that the device was designed specifically for T-Mobile, though neither Google or T-Mobile confirmed it – until now.

One of the original apps that did Google Voice on the Apple iPhone, Sean Kovacs GV Mobile but was ripped out of the Apple iTunes app store because of the politics of Google Voice and AT&T’s “policies” and later was set loose on the Cydia/Rock scene (read: jailbroken iPhone scene) is currently in private beta.

Well, in early 2010, RiverTurn Inc. plans to ease that pain with their upcoming VoiceCentral Black Swan edition Apple iPhone “app” which is now in private beta.

Fake Steve Jobs (journalist Dan Lyons) recently proposed that iPhone users earlier today at 3PM EST begin gobbling up as much bandwidth as possible – in protest of AT&T’s shoddy 3G network performance.
