Nokia To Launch WiMAX Handsets

The next generation of Nokia’s Internet Tablet will feature the long-range wireless broadband technology known as WiMAX, the latest push by the Finnish cell phone maker to develop an all-in-one handset.

The company, which controls about one-third of the worldwide mobile phone market, said it had already signed a deal with U.S. carrier Sprint to make the new tablets available to subscribers in the first half of 2008.


Report Critical Of Telecom’s Online Customer Service
The nation’s telecom providers are failing to provide customers with a full range of online customer service capabilities, according to an industry survey.
The study found that 69% of home pages don’t allow customers to log in to their account. Nearly 40% of home pages don’t have "site search" functionality and only 38% offer a "help" link.


Britain faces the broadband test
Many internet users have been exposed to marketing messages that promote so-called ADSL2+ services, with "up to 24Mbps" speeds, as the next big improvement. In reality, most people will not experience speeds close to this. ADSL, or asymmetric digital subscriber line, does not offer the equal bandwidth for upstream and downstream transmission that is a prerequisite for such emerging "Web 2.0" services as internet television, which rely in part on peer-to-peer file sharing to facilitate file transfers. In any case, ADSL2+ is hardly new to the UK – around 50 to 70 per cent of households already have this option.
Internet users may have to accept that if they want faster broadband options they will have to pay for them. Given the explosion in broadband demand as prices dropped into the £15 to £25-per-month range, there may be little scope for companies marketing an ultra-fast broadband service for £40 or more. However, this is the sort of price that new technology roll-outs may need to ensure interest from those controlling the investment capital. One estimate places the cost of rolling out Fibre to the Home (FTTH) to 90 per cent of UK households as £9.5 billion.




3 Ireland’s broadband stumbles to its knees

3 Ireland’s fixed broadband service is still unable to provide consistent connections, decent speeds, or access to standard e-mail interfaces, according to their users, despite repeated promises and assurances that everything is working fine.

    Nokiin Internet Tablet N800 (nb. nije smartphone, nego handheld pc) već sad ima podršku za Google Talk, SIP i Skype, audio i video pozive. Tak’ da ta vijes ta WiMaxom je fora, ali u praksi znači samo druga mrežna :-)

    Veći problem s tim je nać hotspotove / providere, nego naći handheld ili telefon koji to podržava (afaik neki (e ne sjećam se koji :) nokiini telefoni isto imaju wifi+sip podršku).

    U praksi znaci da se pokrece WiMAX na malo sirim (i guscim) podrucjima nego do sada… recimo NY. Poanta WiMAX-a i je u tome da je sad glavni problem naci HotSpotove, a ne uredjaj koji ce moci koristii WiFi koji je BTW zaliboze truda. Istina, kod nas je WiMAX sporadicna pojava ali… ;-)
