So the latest FCC wireless auction ends after 28 days of intense bidding. T-Mobile did well, gaining significantly needed spectrum across the country.
T-Mobile USA Inc. was the big spender of the auction, winning 120 licenses with bids totaling nearly $4.2 billion. The fourth-largest U.S. carrier gained spectrum across the country, including licenses in the large markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. As soon as the auction closed, T-Mobile USA put out a statement saying that it will not immediately reveal its plans for the spectrum.
This is very exciting news for me as a T-Mobile subscriber. While their EDGE data service is great, I can’t wait for 3G data speeds!
Check this out, the HTC Excalibur is being approved for distribution in the US. This QWERTY equipped Smartphone with landscape QVGA screen is built by HTC, the same company responsible for the HTC Wizard and other fantastic Pocket PC & Smartphone designs.
Rumored to be a Moto Q killer, the HTC Excalibur is a Microsoft Smartphone based device with the standard compliment of Bluetooth, WiFi, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE support. Look for this on the Cingular or T-Mobile networks, though there is no indication at this time as to which carrier will pick it up first. I hope both will snap this bad boy up ASAP!
An article over at Mobile Pipeline is reporting that there will be a ‘large-scale auction of wireless spectrum’ for the US mobile carriers to participate in. This will allow the carriers to expand both footprint, and bandwidth in thier ongoing “high-speed” data offerings. Personally, I believe this will prove to enhance the carriers ability to continue rolling out fast data services for reasonable prices.
If we want to confirm all of the federal judicial nominations President Trump sent over, it would take just over 200 hours of floor time. That’s ONLY judges, not considering the other executive branch nominees.
I love how Dems want to give illegal "undocumented immigrants" driver's licenses as soon as possible, yet don't want them to have to use those licenses to vote because it is "racist".
Today is November 9, 2026 - the border is CLOSED, the streets are SAFER, we’re BUILDING things in America again, and Donald J. Trump is STILL the President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸
