Now that Google has celebrated Yahoo's blown deal with Microsoft, they can go after Verizon Wireless.

This carrier's bid on the 700Mhz bandwidth has been the winning bid and Verizon will make full use of it. What they aren't respecting, according to Google, is the open access rule. Open access means that all applications and all devices, whether or not provided by the owner of the bandwidth, have to be able to function freely in any newly acquired bandwidth.

Verizon hasn't disclosed yet what they are preparing for that spectrum but if their policy is to limit access to if the hardware/software isn't purchased from them isn't exactly fair. I don't know what Google is pursuing this but clearly whatever Verizon has in mind, Google wants to be in it somehow. Is it the GPhone?

Nokia is one of the top cell phone sellers in the world. 40% of cell phone users own a Nokia device. That means every 2 out of 5 mobile owners have a Nokia phone. Pretty cool right? Apparently this percentage doesn't apply to the USA and Nokia is going to do something about it.

One of the main reasons Nokia isn't as bing in the US is the CDMA use by various American carriers like Verizon or Sprint. Nokia's chief designer, Alastair Curtis said today that "In the next few months (U.S.) operators will carry a lot of new products from us" Apparently Nokia is going to manufacture more and more models compatible with American networks' needs during the upcoming months. I guess we will all find out how that works out.

We've heard quite a lot about AT&T's marketing ideas these last couple of days. First we had the $40 iPhone plans for deaf people, then we heard AT&T are going to sell the new 3G iPhone for $199 for a two year subscription plan and today we hear that AT&T are launching cell phone TV Plans.

First of all I am the kind of guy that mostly uses his cell phone for, and you will laugh at this, calling people. I know, that's so unusual right? I wouldn't want to take pictures or watch TV on a 3 inch screen.

But there are lots of people who would do those things to a cell phone and this $15/month plan will suit them. AT&T will match Verizon Wireless' V Cast Mobile TV and the service will be delivered via the same company Qualcomm Inc. The plan includes 10 channels. 8 are shared with Verizon: CBS Mobile, Comedy Central, ESPN Mobile TV, Fox Mobile, MTV, NBC 2Go, NBC News 2Go and Nickelodeon and 2 are exclusive: PIX, which screens movies from Sony Pictures, and CNN Mobile Live.

But there's a catch. You will only have to phones on which this service will be available starting Sunday. These are the LG Vu, a touch screen phone for $299.99, and the Samsung Access, a more traditional phone for $199.99. Prices apply after a $100 rebate and only for 2-year plans. The service will be available in more than 58 locations across the USA.

If you are always watching TV and this AT&T plan sounds like a good idea, maybe you should also know that more and more TV stations are considering mobile broadcasting for free. This is a rumor thing just yet and these kind of services will be available in 2009.
