That trend won't end with AT&T's acquisition, said tech analyst Jeff Kagan. In addition to the pending Comcast-TWC deal, SoftBank, which recently acquired Sprint, also is considering a bid for T-Mobile "We are entering the next era of consolidation," Kagan told the E-Commerce...
I don't usually agree with the European Union. However, it has demanded that Google help to protect the privacy of citizens rather than exposing everything, and I tend to agree. The latest EU ruling doesn't solve the whole problem, though. In fact, it raises more questions -- but it is a good start. ...
"This time, Netflix said they won't raise prices on existing customers yet, only new customers," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "This will give their existing customers some time to get comfortable with the idea of rising prices." Meanwhile, the company ...
While the new 2014 Toyota cars have a lot to love with their advanced technology and navigation, there is also, very surprisingly, something to hate. This tech comes at a high price: loss of privacy. Toyota knows exactly where you are at every moment of every day -- period. Is that what we want? ...
AT&T just announced it will be getting into and improving the in-flight WiFi business. It will be next year before this service is available, but if it's better than the current GoGo WiFi service, I think it will be a big success ...

The story of Square mobile-payments may surprise you. Imagine swiping customer credit cards on your iPhone, iPad or Android. We have all heard the magical stories about a brilliant idea sketched on a napkin that turned into the next big success in business. While these things do happen, more often the bubble bursts.

Want to watch a new tech race? Keep your eyes on the new 1 Gbps ultra high-speed Internet race. Over the next few years, this will continue to grow and become one of the hottest races around.

"It's always better for the industry to solve it's own problems as opposed to having the government step in. The government may mean well, but it always goes way too far," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told TechNewsWorld. "This proposal from the wireless industry makes sense and solves the problem. The problem is simply protecting your private data if your phone is lost or stolen."
We're going to see more of these moves from both companies as they look ahead to a more connected world, said tech analyst Jeff Kagan "We see both Google and Facebook acquiring advanced tech companies at a dizzying pace," he told the E-Commerce Times. "This is good. They see t...
"I applaud T-Mobile on creating another attention-getting effort," said telecom analyst Jeff Kagan. "While from a customer point of view I am not against the idea of eliminating overage fees, I don't know whether T-Mobile has the power to make any changes happen," he added....
Every couple of years, it's time to buy a new wireless phone -- and every couple of years, we go through the same decision-making process. What should be the most important part of that process? The answer is not in the advertising. It's not about choosing a phone. Rather, it's choosing the right network -- and there is a difference between major carriers.
BlackBerry CEO John Chen is trying to turn the company's fortunes around, and something it has in common with Coca-Cola could help. This is something very important, if BlackBerry realizes it. It's something that if done correctly could help the company succeed once again. ...
"This is a big decision for BlackBerry to pull out of a carrier, but clearly the carrier has not been supportive of BlackBerry," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "BlackBerry knows it, and BlackBerry doesn't want to be in a relationship with a carrier that...
"Facebook has now joined the group of companies that throws stuff against the wall waiting to see what sticks," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told TechNewsWorld. "What sounds crazy today often becomes commonplace tomorrow. Could something like this complicate efforts by some cou...
HTC this week announced the HTC One M8, a new model of its flagship smartphone. When the HTC One made its debut last year, AT&T Mobility sent me one to test drive. I thought it was very well designed. However, what it had in substance, the HTC One lacked in brand recognition, marketing, advertising and public relations. Let's face it, HTC is not a well known and loved brand that customers walk in and ask for. Will it be different this year?...
"Continually operating and upgrading the Internet, year after year, is very expensive," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "Perhaps the solution is for the government to take a hands-off approach and let the marketplace battle it out. One key problem is the Internet changes and evolves on a regular basis, and the government simply can't keep up." ...
There has been quite a bit of media speculation on the loss of Malaysia Flight 370. However, many important questions simply are not being answered yet. One that many people are wondering about is this: Why didn't anyone on board that plane call or text message anyone? ...
"This suit was settled. These companies can now do business together," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times, "but that doesn't mean there won't be another suit in the future. This is just the way business operates. In fact, often companies sue each other and do business together at the same time."
"You'll see that over the next few years, we're going to be using iPhones as well as Androids and every other smartphone, while integrated with the car," said telecom analyst Jeff Kagan. "Eventually, it's going to change the way we interact with our iPhone or with the car. It...
