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.

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.

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.

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 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.

As 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.

This is the second “One Year Later” review that I’ve done where I feel like a day, a week, or even a month just doesn’t do service to a review about an item(s) that should be used and critiqued over the year to find any and all problems, quirks and hopefully all of the good parts all enough time to come to the surface. Just a bit over a year ago, I purchased one of the Ooma Hub and Scout combo packages and decided I was going to test it. As with all over VoIP platforms, the Ooma Hub depends upon your internet connection. Your connection goes down, so goes your ability to use your phone.

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.

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.

A week ago, Mediacom went through with a promising e-mail upgrade that might take a week to accomplish said update. Two weeks later, the upgrade still has users still without e-mail service and users are irate. Don’t blame them.

Earlier this month an analyst for the Yankee Group and one of the primary developer’s of Amsterdam’s fiber to the home (and houseboat) network argued that the bandwidth hog didn’t exist, and was instead simply a concept used to disguise poorly designed networks and justify anti-consumer behavior.

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.
