Shutting Microsoft Out of the Wireless World | |
|
||
| Time: 14:22 EST/19:22 GMT | News Source: NewsFactor | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Because wireless still is a young industry, there is plenty of uncertainty over which companies eventually will dominate the space. Microsoft has its eyes fixed on the mobile operating system market -- with the leverage that it has, it is hard to imagine that any competitor would be able to shut the software giant out. Nevertheless, Symbian an operating system designed specifically for wireless by major players in the wireless handset market, is causing some buzz along those lines. Symbian could represent the best hope for keeping Microsoft at bay. "Right now, it's still open for anyone," Gartner analyst Philip Redman told Wireless NewsFactor about the wireless OS market. Redman believes there is plenty of room for Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system, Palm OS and Symbian to coexist. | ||

VoiceStream, er I mean T*Mobile has started advertising they will have a PocketPC phone available RSN.
It'll be interesting if VoiceStream ends up merging with AT&T Wireless. I think we'll start to see better features and so on as these companies consolidate more and standards and better coverage maps begin to take shape. |

So far, the convergance of these companies has brought about worse service, as far as features go.
One thing I really miss is the per-second billing that Arial did before it became part of VoiceStream. |

AT&T is my cable provider and the quality of the service is horrible but... no competition here! AT&T serves the left side of the road and Adelphi the right one; what is the word? Cartel? oligopoly? cough, cough where is the DOJ now? Where are all those "consumers advocates?Maybe AT&T is too well connected in Washington? Cough, cough This post was edited by Fritzly on Thursday, July 18, 2002 at 22:23. |

| Hmm the choice between ATT Broadband and Adelphia. On the one hand we have an ISP who recently moved from a bankrupt network provider. On the other hand we have an ISP who has one foot in the bankruptcy grave. |
