US 3G market penetration out paces Europe

It looks like our immature, underdeveloped 3G wireless network infrastructure hasn’t stopped the US from passing-up Western Europe in terms of 3G subscribers. According to comScore, 28.4% of US wireless subscribers have hopped on board the 3G bandwagon. Compare that to the 28.3% of western European wireless customers with 3G handsets in tow, and it’s [...]

AT&T sees massive data network outage on East Coast

AT&T has been struggling to keep up with demand on its data network since the launch of the iPhone 3G.

Qualcomm ignores Broadcom patent injunction, ordered to pay fines

In a move that should at least somewhat restore your faith in the US legal system and corporate accountability, U.S. District Judge James Selna found that Qualcomm violated (more like ignored) a previous injunction that barred the chip-maker from selling 3G chips in the US that infringed on Broadcom’s patents. This most recent ruling [...]

Orange fesses up to limiting iPhone 3G data speeds

There’s nothing worse than paying for high-speed 3G wireless data and then getting shafted with artificially-limited data speeds. iPhone 3G owners have been complaining of sluggish 3G data speeds, resulting in speculation that the iPhone 3G’s hardware or firmware were to blame. But, with Wired’s global iPhone 3G data speed survey suggesting that the network [...]

T-Mobile already lighting up 3G network in Las Vegas and Austin?

T-Mobile’s 3G network has been a long time coming. After winning the 1700Mhz AWS spectrum that it needed to launch its own special flavor of 3G networks in the US, T-Mobile was forced by the US government to stand-by as bureaucratic agencies proceeded to vacate the spectrum. And, after initially launching their 3G network in [...]

AT&T "doubling" 3G network in anticipation of iPhone 3G data demands

So, on the eve of the US iPhone 3G launch, AT&T has announced that it is "doubling" the capacity of their 3G [...]
