The Wireless Report has an interesting post about mobile and VoIP communications taking over the world. I agree that the trend is moving in that direction, but what is fascinating to me is how long our country takes to catch up to the rest of the world. Our providers and the media do a great job of covering up what new options there really are for us to use and move to. To save money and gain flexibility – it’s only the web-savy “power-users” and folks in the IT industry that are “in-the-know” as it were.
While I find this very disappointing, its good to see these options start to pick up here in the U.S. – and I think the traditional telephony providers are dreading this very trend. How they will fight it I’m not sure, but I’ll put forth my $.02 and suggest that they simply provide the fastest, cheapest, biggest communications pipe to my house. That is all I want from them, I’ll find my content places that are focused on content, not as a means to attract me as a broadband or infrastructure customer.

Apparently, Verizon Wireless is changing its policy on tethering laptops & PDAs to mobile phones for data connectivity! Users of high-end, high-speed data capable phones will be able to use their mobile phone as a modem for their laptop. This is good news for those on Verizon!
Kudos to Verizon for making this policy change – I would be surprised if they did not see an increase in subscribers of data plans. This is one of the reasons that I would never consider Verizon in the past, with this change Verizon is becoming a viable alternative if I leave T-Mobile.
Now we just need to work on their pricing! 🙂

Been using Clipmarks now for about a week or so – clipped a lot of information, and I believe it to be a fantastic new tool to keep me organized! I’ve been able to go back to a number of articles that normally I would not be able to find after reading them. I’ll recommend the service at this point with the knowledge that it really does work as advertised.
I’ve used the plugins for both Internet Explorer and FireFox with great success. I’ve been able to search the my clips from both browsers along with Opera as well. Go try it out and let me know if it works for you as it well as it does for me!
