Through the late 1990s Motorola led. It missed the change from analog to digital, though, and over the last decade, Nokia grew to become the No. 1 cellular handset maker. During the last several years, the tide began turning again. Nokia tried just about everything it could think of, but still could...

AT&T, Verizon and Sprint Tell Different Truths

Which wireless provider is doing the best job? Listening to them gets confusing. It's like me saying that I am the slimmest, healthiest and best-looking wireless analyst on this airplane (I'm flying to the west coast to give a speech). Now that line has as much truth in it as a load of horse manure ...

Riding the Wave to Success

As I travel and speak at meetings around the country, one of the key topics that has been capturing a lot of attention is something I call "the Wave."

4G Wireless: Truth or Fiction?

Now it's official: All four major wireless networks are now claiming they are 4G. Oh really. Aha. Baloney.

We better get ready for taxes galore. In fact, it's w...

Crystal Ball Gazing: Guessing the Next Big Technology Phenom

Every opportunity has a life span. Think about its course like a line or a wave that goes up then it comes down again. Fortunes are created, then lost, then created again.
