			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speaking at a J.P. Morgan Media and Telecom conference, Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo said  <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57435601-94/verizon-to-kill-unlimited-data-plans-for-existing-subscribers/" target=new>the company is killing its unlimited data plan for &#8220;grandfathered&#8221; customers</a> and will force existing and new customers to sign up for a new tiered &#8220;data-share&#8221; plan on its 4G LTE network.</p>
<p>Verizon Wireless subscribers who have held onto their $30 a month unlimited data plans will soon be forced to upgrade to a new tiered offering, <a href="http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizon-will-kill-grandfathered-unlimited-data-plans-push-users-data-share/2012-05-16" target=new>according to Fierce Wireless</a>. Verizon&#8217;s data share plan is scheduled to launch in mid-summer but no pricing details have been announced. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/bye-unlimited-data-plans-from-verizon-tiered-plans-and-lte-hotspot-fees-confirmed-to-start-july-7-updated/25958/" target=new><img src="http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/verizon-tiered-data_july7.png" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>Shammo said that LTE will be the anchor for the new plan and that as customers upgrade from 3G to LTE, they will have to be on a data share plan, allowing the company to sunset its unlimited 3G data plan. &#8220;A lot of our 3G base is on unlimited,&#8221; Shammo said. &#8220;When they migrate off 3G they will have to go to data share. That is beneficial to us.&#8221;</p>

</div>
<p><a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/405271-at-t-officially-makes-unlimited-data-plans-not-so-unlimited?source=yahoo" target=new>AT&#038;T’s unlimited plans are now officially limited</a>, reports Seeking Alpha.  <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/att-increases-unlimited-data-throttling-threshold-01216421/" target=new>The caps are now 3GB for HSPA+ subscribers and 5GB for LTE subscribers</a>, which is a welcome boost up from the 2GB cap that was in force regardless of whether a customer was on an HSPA+ or LTE unlimited data plan. Users can check their monthly data usage by dialing “*data#” on their mobile phones. </p>

</div>
<p>Any overage will result in throttling. This cap remains in place until the end of the billing cycle. You will still have unlimited data, but on AT&#038;T’s terms.</p>

<p>Its domestic competitors <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Unicom" target=new>China Unicom</a> (GSM) and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Telecom" target=new>China Telecom</a> (CDMA) now both offer iPhone handsets on their networks. China Mobile’s homegrown <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-SCDMA" target=new>TD-SCDMA service</a> left it unable to offer popular handsets, including Apple’s iPhone. Unlike most CDMA networks, it uses only a single frequency for uplink and downlink.</p>

<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/01/17/clearwire-and-china-mobile-announce-td-lte-testing-plan/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6715309523_da03f18f3b.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>The carrier’s new chairman said China Mobile can’t predict if the two sides will come to an agreement this year. Chairman Xi Guohua said at a shareholder meeting in Hong Kong today that the carrier is counting on a shift to a fourth-generation wireless network to stem a decline in market share. </p>
<p>“China Mobile and Apple both have the will to strengthen cooperation,” Xi said. “When there is more specific news, we will disclose it.”</p>
<p>China Mobile will expand its TD-LTE network trial to nine cities, from six in 2011, and add 20,000 base stations to the 900 it tested last year, Chief Executive officer Li Yue told the meeting today, reiterating a plan announced in March. If the trial is a success, the total number of 4G base stations will climb to 200,000 next year, he said.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.lte-tdd.org/about" target=new>Global TD-LTE Initiative</a> (GTI) is a virtual open platform to advocate cooperation among global operators to promote TD-LTE. China Mobile, Clearwire, Europe&#8217;s Vodafone, India&#8217;s Bharti Airtel and Japan&#8217;s Softbank <a href="http://www.lte-tdd.org/about/scmembers" target=new>are on the GTI steering committee</a> and have established a joint test platform for TD-LTE devices.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/08/15/mediatek-first-td-lte-handset/" target=new><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3236/5867809336_dde2d0d3c6.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>The availability of the Quad-Band LTE 2.3-2.7 GHz handsets, in addition to certain other bands like 1.9GHz, may make Clearwire a good candidate for interoperability with the same gear used by China Mobile and Indian TD-LTE operators. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/04/10/bharti-airtel-activates-td-lte-in-india/" target=new><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6264765358_d797ec2c12.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.lte-tdd.org/about" target=new>Global TD-LTE Initiative</a> labs will allow for the evaluation and qualification of commercial TD-LTE devices simultaneously in the U.S., China, and India, using common testing methodology and equipment. The only spectrum that&#8217;s (mostly) harmonized on a global basis for 4G LTE are the 2.3 and 2.6 GHz bands. The 2.6 GHz band has largely been set aside for 4G, world-wide, although auctions in some countries such as Britain, may not happen until later this year or early next year.</p>

</div>
<p>China Mobile had 667.2 million mobile-phone subscribers at the end of March, the company said last month. AT&#038;T and Verizon Wireless are comparative bit players on the global stage. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.kvh.com/Pages/Landing-Pages/miniVSAT-com.aspx" target=new>mini-VSAT Broadband service</a> from KVH Industries, is now the most widely used maritime VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) service in the world, <a href="http://www.nsr.com/news-resources/nsr-in-the-press/nsr-press-releases/mobile-satellite-market-poised-for-sustained-growth/" target=new>according to a report just published by Northern Sky Research</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;With an estimated count of nearly 30% of the units in the market, KVH has taken the low-ARPU/high-volume market by storm,&#8221; <a href="http://www.kvh.com/Press-Room/Press-Release-Library/2012/120516-VSAT-Market-Leader.aspx" target=new>reported NSR analyst Claude Rousseau, referring to the Ku-band maritime VSAT market</a>. According to the NSR report, <a href="http://progressive.kvh.com/one/" target=new>KVH&#8217;s mini-VSAT Broadband service</a> accounted for nearly 30% of all Ku-band maritime VSAT units and more than 20% of all activated maritime VSAT units of all frequencies. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://progressive.kvh.com/one/vseries.html" target=new><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8008/7210432930_c69a78ed86.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Vsat" target=new>Maritime VSAT services</a> use powerful FSS (Fixed Satellite Service) C-, Ku-, and Ka-band satellites, rather than dedicated maritime satellites, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inmarsat" target=new>Inmarsat</a>, to provide two-way voice and data connectivity to ships at sea.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.pbn.com/detail.html?sub_id=aa5a4920770e" target=new><img src="http://www.pbn.com/uploads/inline/1317312062_3841.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>Prior to the introduction of VSAT into the maritime markets, vessels were limited to MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) L-band satellites, which used lower frequencies that could be received by relatively small and low-priced onboard terminals, but had prohibitively expensive airtime, that could cost customers $20 per megabyte. </p>
<div align="center">

</div>
<p><a href="http://www.oceannavigator.com/July-August-2007/Broadband-at-sea/" target=new>KVH says their secret sauce is their CDMA modulation</a> which allows smaller terminals without interfering with adjacent satellites. Over the past 4 years, KVH has taken advantage of new commercial satellite coverage over the oceans to create a seamless web of multimegabit service, leasing capacity on normally fixed service satellites. Fourteen Ku-band satellite transponders are already online, creating one of the widest Ku-band networks in the industry. </p>
<p>The company’s <a href="http://www.kvh.com/Commercial-and-OEM/Maritime-Systems/Communications/mini-VSAT-Broadband/TracPhone-V3.aspx" target=new>TracPhone V3</a>, with a 37 cm antenna, and its enterprise-grade <a href="http://www.kvh.com/Commercial-and-OEM/Maritime-Systems/Communications/mini-VSAT-Broadband/TracPhone-V7.aspx" target=new>TracPhone V7</a>, which uses a 60 cm antenna, provide service throughout the Ku-band portion of the network. </p>

</div>
<p>The legacy market for maritime communications is the 1.6 GHz L-band (Inmarsat, Iridium, Globalstar, Thuraya) and it will continue to be the core base of users, <a href="http://www.gvf.org/docs/maritime2011-europe/3_Day_1_0900_Claude_Rousseau_NSR.pdf" target=new>says researcher, Northern Sky Communications</a>, despite the impact of <a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/05/31/high-throughput-satellite-goes-live/" target=new>High Throughput Satellites</a> which are expected to make available huge gains in satellite capacity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.inmarsat.com/About/Our_vision.aspx?language=EN&#038;textonly=False" target=new>Inmarsat&#8217;s Global Xpress</a> is their next generation of maritime satellites.

<p><a href="http://www.inmarsat.com/Services/Government/News/00036138.aspx?language=EN&#038;textonly=False" target=new>Three Inmarsat-5 satellites</a> will operate  <a href="http://www.inmarsat.com/About/Newsroom/Press/00036066.aspx?language=EN&#038;textonly=False" target=new>in the Ka-band</a> (20–30 GHz). Each Inmarsat-5 will carry a payload of 89 small Ka-band beams which combined will offer global Ka-band spot coverage. There are plans to offer high-speed inflight broadband on airliners. The move to “High Throughput Satellites” will be key to success in broadband access around the world, says Northern Sky.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHealth" target=new>The mHealth field</a> has emerged as a sub-segment of eHealth, using computers, mobile phones, patient monitors, etc., for health services and information. According to the analyst firm Berg Insight, around 2.2 million patients worldwide were using a home monitoring service at the end of 2011. That figure does not include patients that use monitoring devices connected to a PC or mobile phone. The number of these devices using integrated cellular connectivity <a href="http://www.mobilehealthlive.org/publications/berg-insight-says-2-2-million-patients-are-remotely-monitored-today/21784" target=new>increased from 0.42 million in 2010 to about 0.57 million in 2011</a>, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 34.6 percent to 2.47 million in 2016.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/05/fcc-to-verizon-whats-wrong-with-that-spectrum-you-never-built-out/" target=new>The FCC has asked Verizon Wireless for clarification on its spectrum plans</a>, following its <a href="xxx" target=new>plan to buy AWS spectrum from a consortium of cable companies</a> for $3.6 billion and sell some of the 700MHz frequencies it already owns. To make the AWS purchase more palatable to regulators, Verizon is proposing to sell off many of the Lower 700MHz licenses it bought in an FCC auction in 2008, and has made the sale contingent on approval of its new purchase.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/04/18/verizon-hopes-to-sell-unused-700-mhz-spectrum/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6556079515_9eab9c02ff.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>In a letter published by the regulator yesterday (<a href="http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2012/db0515/DOC-314071A1.pdf" target=new>pdf</a>), it asks Verizon the steps it has taken to date to deploy services using the 700MHz licences in question, which include a network buildout obligation for June 2013. It also asked the operator to “explain the relevance, if any,” of the 700MHz sale plans on its investigation of the AWS transaction, including any details of previous sale efforts, and its plans if the AWS deal does not go through.</p>
<p>Some reports suggested that the request indicates that the FCC has concerns about the deals, and Verizon’s approach to its spectrum holdings. <a href="http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Sprint-TMobile-Part-of-New-Alliance-to-Stop-Verizon-Deals-399677/" target=new>Rivals of Verizon, including Sprint and T-Mobile USA</a>, have argued that the AWS deal is unnecessary, due to the existing spectrum holdings. The FCC has requested a response from Verizon by 22 May 2012.</p>
<p>Verizon bought 700 MHz frequencies in 2008 for $4.4 billion. <a href="http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizon-well-sell-700-mhz-spectrum-get-cable-companies-aws-spectrum/2012-04-18" target=new>Verizon will auction all of its 700 MHz Lower A and B Block spectrum</a>. AT&#038;T currently uses &#8220;B-block&#8221; spectrum, while smaller regional carriers use &#8220;A block&#8221; spectrum. Verizon currently uses their nation-wide &#8220;C-Block&#8221; licenses, which are 20 MHz wide, exclusively for its LTE network. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/12/22/att-competitors-700mhz-roaming-now/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6556688227_f1f92773dd.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>The above chart shows Verizon owning some 25 licenses in the lower &#8220;A&#8221; block. But recently, <a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/11/30/verizon-and-cricket-swap-spectrum/" target=new>Verizon swapped their 12 MHz A Block spectrum with Cricket</a>, so they may not need to provide roaming on the &#8220;A&#8221; block. Verizon&#8217;s LTE devices work only on their nationwide (10 MHz x 2) upper C Block spectrum.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.cellularmaps.com/700_auction.shtml" target=new><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5467/7210084874_9b18e15d8c.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>No doubt, AT&#038;T (in blue) would like to purchase more of Verizon&#8217;s &#8220;B-Block&#8221; (in green), especially for cities like Chicago where AT&#038;T has only half the LTE spectrum of Verizon.</p>
<p>Carriers like Sprint, T-Mobile and MetroPCS say the cable deal would create allies out of former rivals, while selling the &#8220;B-Block&#8221; spectrum to AT&#038;T would strengthen the Verizon/AT&#038;T duopoly.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.echostarsatelliteservices.com/NewsEvents/PressReleases/PressRelease.aspx?prid={4681445C-087A-497F-AF41-E084B48CB6E2}" target=new>HughesNet Gen4 satellite service</a>, starting in summer 2012, will deliver better performance, faster speeds and superior download capacity to customers throughout the United States. It could help Hughes &#8212; now an EchoStar subsidiary&#8211; to provide competition to the ViaSat bird for delivering broadband to rural areas. <a href="http://www.fiercecable.com/story/echostar-prepares-launch-satellite-gen4-broadband-internet-service/2012-05-14" target=new>The huge KA-band (20/30 GHz) spotbeam satellite</a> will let Hughes deliver improved internet capacity to over 1.5 million of its consumer- and small-business subscribers.</p>
<div align="center">

</div>
<p><a href="http://www.hughes.com/NewsEvents/ChannelNewsletter/Spring2012/Pages/JUPITERCountdowntoLaunch.aspx" target=new>Employing a multi-spot beam, bent-pipe architecture</a>, the new geostationary satellite will expand the total capacity for HughesNet service to over 2 million in North America, which today at over 620,000 subscribers represents both the world’s largest consumer satellite Internet service and the largest Ka-band technology network. </p>
<p>HughesNet sells three high-speed tiers to rural subscribers. Its $40 monthly tier offers download speeds of just 1 Mbps. For $80 monthly, subscribers can get download speeds of 1.5 Mbps, and for $110 monthly, rural broadband users can surf the Web at speeds of 2 Mbps. Hughes hasn&#8217;t said how much it will charge for its Gen4 service or how big the monthly data caps may be. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.hughes.com/Pages/Default.aspx" target=new>Hughes Network Systems</a>, the world&#8217;s leading provider of broadband satellite solutions and services, was bought by Charlie Ergen. The new broadband satellite will compliment EchoStar&#8217;s DBS television satellites and EchoStar&#8217;s new Blockbuser streaming service. Charlie Ergen has also amassed 40 MHz of MSS spectrum at 2.1 GHz,  from the remains of the bankrupt ICO and TerraStar satellite platforms. Whether that will result in 40 MHz of terrestrial LTE is anyone&#8217;s guess, but indications on the board all look green.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/01/17/viasat-announces-commercial-satellite-operation/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/6715463059_955fc67b6c.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p>The main competitor to Hughes is the new <a href="http://www.viasatresidential.com/" target=new>ViaSat&#8217;s Exede</a>, which provides satellite broadband at a fast 12 Mbps with a 7 GB monthly usage cap (up &#038; down combined) for $50, a 15 GB cap for $80, and a 25 GB of monthly usage cap for $130.  </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.viasatresidential.com/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7193/6813514970_c0268a289b.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.viasatresidential.com/exede" target=new>A one-time set-up fee of $149.99 and $9.99/month equipment lease fee are required</a> for the ViaSat broadband service, plus the monthly service fees and taxes. </p>
<p>Both WildBlue (<a href="http://www.viasat.com/broadband-satellite-networks/viasat-1" target=new>ViaSat-1</a>) and HughesNet (<a href="http://www.hughes.com/ProductsAndTechnology/Jupiter/Pages/default.aspx" target=new>Jupiter-1</a>), can deliver satellite internet access that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/16/technology/16satellite.html" target=new>will dwarf their predecessors in space</a>. WildBlue’s ViaSat, for example, has 10 times the capacity of its three current satellites combined.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/05/pr2012-05-02.html" target=new>Verizon&#8217;s HomeFusion Broadband service has gone nationwide</a>, with terrestrial LTE service targeting rural users. <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/homefusion.jsp" target=new>HomeFusion</a>, which <a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/03/06/verizon-homefusion-lte-rural-service/" target=new>launched in six markets this March</a>,  uses Verizon&#8217;s LTE network for the backhaul and an internal WiFi to connect devices in the home.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/homefusion.jsp" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7109/7136442269_fe3d0decab.jpg" border="0" target=new/></a>

<p><a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2012/03/06/verizon-homefusion-lte-rural-service/" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7067/6959511549_84abf7ccbc_m.jpg" hspace="10" align=left border="0"/></a>Verizon&#8217;s HomeFusion LTE dome is installed outside the house (for $199.99). Using Wi-Fi, customers can connect up to 20 devices. Verizon says customers should expect downlink speeds of between 5Mbps and 12Mbps and uplink speeds ranging from 2Mbps to 5Mbps.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57426016-94/verizons-lte-powered-in-home-broadband-goes-national/" target=new>Verizon says HomeFusion is an alternative to traditional residential broadband</a>, especially for those without DSL or cable modem options.</p>
<p>Plans include rates of $60 per month for 10GB of data, $90 per month for 20GB, or $120 per month for 30GB, with a $10 per GB penalty for each plan after reaching the cap.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/explore/?page=why-verizon&#038;section=verizon-4g-lte#verizon-4g-lte#verizon-4g-lte#verizon-4g-lte#verizon-4g-lte" target=new><img src="http://cache.vzw.com/images_b2c/explore/coverage_map.jpg" border="0"/></a>
</div>
<p>If the household exceeds 10 GB, 20 GB or 30 GB of data per month, subscribers are charged an extra $10 per GB of data per month. AT&#038;T says <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401196,00.asp" target=new>its average U-Verse user gobbles up about 21GB per month</a>. That may indicate that a typical Verizon HomeFusion user may pay about $90/month for 20 GB. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2373767,00.asp" target=new><img src="http://www1.pcmag.com/media/images/282133-lte-speed.gif?thumb=y" hspace="10" align=right border="0"/></a>Verizon&#8217;s HomeFusion serves a niche and the pricing is in line with their cellular service. Verizon&#8217;s chief terrestrial competitor may be the <a href="http://www.clear.com/devices/details/id/74" target=new>CLEAR Modem with Wi-Fi</a> ($99), which delivers <a href="http://www.clear.com/plans/details/id/712" target=new>truly unlimited WiMAX at 2.6 GHz</a> for $49/month for homes or offices. The integrated wi-fi router provides broadband connectivity and local networking. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.clear.com/devices/details/id/74" target=new><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7179/6959537577_551a94ee77_m.jpg" hspace="10" align=left border="0"/></a>Clear isn&#8217;t likely to be a contender for rural users &#8211; it has limited coverage. </p>
<p>By comparison <a href="https://www22.verizon.com/FORYOURHOME/GOFLOW/NationalBundles/BundleQualify.ASPX?Message=NoSessionID" target=new>Verizon charges $40 per month for a 3 Mbps DSL service</a>, <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-57391547-266/verizon-offers-rural-americans-a-pricey-4g-broadband-alternative/" target=new>notes C/Net</a>. And it charges <a href="http://www22.verizon.com/home/fiosinternet/#plans" target=new>$55 a month for its 15 Mbps Fios broadband service</a>, which also comes with a free Wi-Fi router.</p>
<p>But if you plan on using 25 GB/month, Clear would be cheaper at $50/month. ViaSat would cost more, about $130/mo., while Verizon HomeFusion costs about $120/mo (for 30 GB). Presumably, the new Hughes Jupiter satellite internet service will be priced competitively. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A T-Mobile <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404429,00.asp" target=new>will begin enforcing its $14.99 per month wireless hotspot plan, beginning tomorrow</a>, with HTC&#8217;s upgrade of <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386468,00.asp" target=new>the HTC Sensation</a> to Android 4.0, reports PC Magazine. The carrier&#8217;s policy of letting some customers use shared WiFi for free is expected to end this week, making a Wi-Fi hotspot subscription mandatory for those who want the &#8220;Ice Cream Sandwich&#8221;/Android 4.0 upgrade, and wish to keep using the phone as a wireless hotspot.</p>
<p><a href="http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/4498" target=new><img src="http://www.t-mobile.com/htmlservices/assets/images/TMO_logo.gif" hspace="10" align=right border="0"/></a><a href="http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2392" target=new>T-Mobile&#8217;s support document</a> on the HTC Sensation upgrade on Monday came with a caveat: &#8220;HTC Sensation 4G will be required to add Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot feature in order to use the service after completing this update.&#8221;</p>
<p>T-Mobile also indicated that ICS would be coming to the HTC Amaze 4G &#8220;in the coming weeks&#8221;. However, that document lacks the Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot caveat that T-Mobile included on the HTC Sensation page. On the other hand, users have reported that T-Mobile has also previously blocked the Wi-Fi tethering feature on the Amaze.</p>
<p><a href="http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/4498" target=new>T-Mobile has always officially charged $14.95 per month for Wi-Fi hotspot access</a>. However, some users were given a free pass, leading to confusion about whether T-Mobile actually charged for the feature. Users needed to buy the package, whether or not they used a USB cable to tether the phone to their computer, or a Wi-Fi connection.</p>
<p>&#8220;T-Mobile began offering a Smartphone Mobile Hotspot plan in November 2010. However, due to technical limitations with software, customers were not being charged for the feature on select T-Mobile products,&#8221; a T-Mobile representative said. &#8220;Customers who choose to upgrade their HTC Sensation 4G to the optional Android 4.0 (ICS) software update will be required to sign up for the $14.99 Smartphone Mobile Hotspot plan.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404429,00.asp" target=new>HTC has a total of 16 phones lined up to get ICS updates</a>, including the Droid Incredible 2 by HTC, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation 4G, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Raider, HTC Rezound, HTC Rhyme, HTC Thunderbolt, and HTC Vivid. </p>

</li>
</ul>
<p>Though not all the notebooks will come standard with 1600 x 900 (HD+ resolution) screens, they will be optional upgrades on any L, T, and X series that don’t have them by default.</p>
<p>Other new Ivy Bridge laptops include <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/15/3021382/sony-s-series-ivy-bridge-kepler-e-series" target=new>Sony VAIO upgraded with Ivy Bridge</a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.theverge.com/products/vaio-s-series-15/5650" target=new>Sony&#8217;s VAIO S Series laptops</a> will come with a choice of 13.3- and 15.5-inch displays; the 15.5-inch model has a 1080p IPS screen, while <a href="http://www.theverge.com/products/vaio-s-series-13/5651" target=new>the 13.3-incher</a> doesn&#8217;t have its resolution specified.

<p>Apple is preparing a new lineup of thinner MacBook laptops running Ivy Bridge, <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-14/apple-said-to-prepare-thinner-mac-laptops-sporting-intel-chips.html" target=new>reports Bloomberg</a>.

The new machines are expected to feature high resolution Retina Displays. The chassis is said to be thinner and lighter, in part due to the removal of the optical drive, while <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/14/apple-readies-revamped-15-inch-macbook-pro-retina-display-ultra-thin-design-and-super-fast-usb-3-3/" target=new>9to5 Mac says</a> the machines will have USB 3.0.</p>

<p><a href="http://urgentcomm.com/mobile_data/news/polarus-altus-mobile-20120510/" target=new>Detectives could follow a suspect at a safe distance</a> because they can see the suspect’s movements and location on their device screens. Later— after the suspect meets up with other potential suspects — the officers could use their smartphones to take images that they would transmit to headquarters for processing through facial-recognition software. </p>
<p>The application leverages Polaris’s Wireless Location Signatures platform, which simultaneously can locate all subscriber devices on a wireless network, both in real time and historically.</p>
<p>That means law-enforcement officers will know where a suspect is, where he has been and where he is heading at any given moment, said Mahesh Patel, Polaris’s senior vice president of products and technology. </p>
<p><a href="http://polariswireless.com/in-the-news/press-release/titled/Polaris_Wireless_Introduces_Altus_Mobile/" target=new>Altus Mobile</a> allows field agents to simultaneously track suspects on a Smartphone or tablet in real time by receiving up-to-date intelligence from headquarters, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li> Past and current locations of suspects
</li>
<li> Locations where two or more suspects meet
</li>
<li> Occasions where suspects enter/exit a restricted area
</li>
<li> Visualization of suspects&#8217; surroundings by augmented reality
</li>
<li> Nearby locations of authorities (police, military, etc.)
</li>
</ul>

<p>The slide-on adapter precisely <a href="http://www.marinelink.com/news/adapter-iphone-vision344081.aspx" target=new>mounts a PVS-14A night vision scope over the iPhone’s 8-megapixel camera lens</a>. With a single tap first responders can now securely upload high resolution night vision photos, video, geotag data and text to their remote counterparts in command and control.</p>
