cell phones

Cisco’s annual Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast makes some interesting (some may say frightening) predictions, including the fact that the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the world’s population sometime this year.

AT&T Wireless customers with unlimited data plans are crying foul over a policy that seemingly punishes the heaviest users, throttling their download speeds to a snail’s pace.

Most companies are happy if their customers pay their bills on time, by whatever means, but not Verizon.  Verizon is taking "accounts receivable" to the next level. Starting January 15th, 2012, Verizon will start charging its customers a $2 dollar fee for paying their bills Online or by phone.

In response to the National Transportation Safety Board-proposed ban on cellphones while driving, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers tried to defend hands-free devices. They’re “designed to be used in a way that helps drivers keep their eyes on the road,” they said, but now it looks like this defense doesn’t hold water.

This is getting ridiculous. Is nothing safe from high tech snoops?  Here's the latest thing to be concerned about.  If you have an iPhone, that creepy guy standing near you holding a phone may be reading your text messages.
