U.S. Jumps Ahead Of Europe For Wireless Services Almost on a weekly basis someone tells me Europe is so much farther ahead of the U.S. in wireless. I have said for years that Europe's lead would be short lived. Now the traditional research firms are starting to understand what Andy and I have been saying for years--the U.S. will lead Europe by the end of this year in wireless services and applications. Watch the services and applications that Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless bring to market over the next year. It is going to be exciting. The Europeans are going to fall further behind in 3G services.

The Chronicle of Higher Education: Students Complain About Devices for Reading E-Books, Study Finds. Although the researchers started with the assumption that e-books would be just as easy to use as textbooks, they soon found that students had various complaints about the performance of the e-book devices.

Rafe Needleman says T-Mobile turns up heat on smaller hot spot providers: I agree with part of his sentiment, in that T-Mobile's more confident entry and commitment into the field signals the first real U.S. test of whether enough revenue and cross-selling can be extracted from Wi-Fi hot spots. As I've said before, T-Mobile, as the number six U.S. cell carrier, has a lot to gain by picking up cell customers at Starbucks, and can probably realize substantially more revenue off those signups than it can in the next 12 months from hot spot revenue.
