The combination of these forces are also increasing demands for enhanced services with consumers as well, leading to price competition and increased services as well. All of these factors are galvanizing around getting and keeping enterprise and consumer customers for the long-term so a highly profitable annuity revenue stream can be sustained over time.
An Analysis of How at&T and Verizon Compete on Coverage
Of the two companies, Verizon has been much more agile and quick to respond to market dynamics, including investing heavily in 4G and 4G LTE networks at a level that surpasses all other carriers (Verizon Investor Relations, 2013). Based on greater spending in research and development (R&D) and more investments in capital equipment, Verizon has able to be the first to launch 4G services in the United States, and it also allowed for subscribers from third-party providers and carriers who compete primarily with their brand (Dekleva, Shim, Varshney, Knoerzer, 2007). This gave Verizon first-mover advantage in the market, the ability to capture greater regional and metric coverage using its advanced LTE technology, which immediately became a foundation for offering advanced services to business and consumer accounts that are much more...
at&T was slower to respond, lacked the level of capital investment Verizon had, and as a result was quickly distanced in the race for 4G and 4G LTE subscribers.

Wireless Broadband Technology Overview of Wireless technology Presently it is quite evident to come across functioning of a sort of wireless technology in the form of mobile phone, a Palm pilot, a smart phone etc. With the inception of fast connectivity in the sphere of commerce it is customary and useful to operate from central locations communicating with the remote branches, conducting conferences in remote places, discussing with every body at every
Wireless Networking Phenomenon Today's world is faced with a myriad of challenging and complex issues that require advanced technological solutions. As technology becomes increasingly user-friendly and focused on the consumer, it is evident that users have become more dependent on wireless technological devices as mechanisms that promote convenience, survival, and economic prosperity. Devices such as cellular phones, laptop computers, and personal digital assistants have become absolute essential components for many consumers
Ultimately, based on this study's findings, the researcher proffers recommendation for future researchers to ponder for potential, future study projects. The researcher also notes any lessons, in hindsight that this study's efforts recovered. Aims and Objectives The researcher's primary aim for the study is to explore particular aspects of the technology and applications, as well as the special features of the Apple i-Phone 3G, as compared and contrasted to a: Research
For example, as Sheridan (2003) emphasizes, "When Short Message Service (SMS) was first introduced on mobile phones, it was seen merely as an extra feature that might be used by people on an irregular basis. But in fact, text-messaging turned out to be one of the device's most desirable assets, and is regarded by many as one of the most significant cultural developments of the past decade" (p. xxviii). Given
Business users will be charged $45 a month for data. By giving back the revenue to the carriers, which they may use for subsidies, Apple is hoping to dramatically increase its volume, as well as sell more Macintosh computers to iPhone users" (Markoff 2008). This tradeoff illustrates an important aspect of marketing any new technology -- not only must the product be affordable, but so must the service itself. Apple
Bluetooth devices use encryption security and this makes the requirement of a "unique key session key to derive per-packet keys thus avoiding frequent key reuse." (Kennedy and Hunt, 2008, p.4) Kennedy and Hunt report that ZigBee is a reasonably priced low energy consumption two-way CDMA/BA-based wireless communications standard which is based on IEEE 802.15.4 which is referred to commonly as a 'Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs) and which
