09/29/2005 FCC Uncertainty

The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) rules on Voice over IP (define) wiretapping accessibility is likely to set off another round of regulatory uncertainty, all in the name of regulatory certainty.

Since the FCC began investigative proceedings on VoIP almost two years ago, the agency has promised a light regulatory approach but stressed that Internet telephone services would have certain legal obligations, particularly in the areas of law enforcement and public safety.

09/27/2005 Industry Group Calls For Lower Taxes On Mobile Phones

The GSM Association has called for the high taxes levied on the mobile phone industry in many developing countries to be reviewed as they have made mobile communications unaffordable for hundreds of millions of people, holding back social and economic development.

The call came as the Association unveiled a detailed study into the problem which showed that in 16 of the 50 developing countries surveyed, taxes represent over 20 percent of the total cost of owning and using a mobile phone. In 14 of the developing countries, the average mobile phone user pays more than $40 a year in taxes on handsets and mobile services.

09/26/2005 New Mobile Virus Can Jump to PCs

Yet another virus targeting mobile devices has emerged, this time with a new twist: It has the potential to infect PCs when users transfer data from phone to computer.

The Cardtrap.A Trojan resembles other malware targeting handhelds running the Symbian operating system, such as Cabir, that typically spread through a phone's built-in messaging applications or by way of Bluetooth wireless connections.

However, unlike earlier mobile-phone viruses, Cardtrap.A has a built-in mechanism that plants two worms on a phone's memory card with the ultimate goal of infecting a PC

09/22/2005 Court Nixes Some Ads Sent to Cell Phones

An Arizona appellate court ruled Tuesday that a 1991 federal law's ban against using autodialers to call cell phones applies to sending e-mail text messages with unsolicited advertisements — a technology not in vogue when the law was enacted.

The unanimous ruling by a three-judge Court of Appeals panel upholds a trial judge's pretrial ruling in favor of a man who had sued a mortgage company in 2001 after it sent two unsolicited text messages to his cell phone. Rodney L. Joffe claimed that the calls by Acacia Mortgage Corp. violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.


09/21/2005 Cell Phone Ban Urged for Teen Drivers

Banning teenagers from using cell phones or other wireless devices while learning to drive should be a national auto safety priority, say U.S. transportation safety officials.

09/19/2005 Use Your Cell Phone Instead of Your Credit Card

Ever wish you could pay for something with your cell phone? Chances are if your friends have kids, they'll whip out their cell phone to show you pictures. So why not put other staples of the wallet--such as driver's license, credit cards, and membership cards--on the cell?

Although we're a ways off from putting driver's license info on our handset, we can now link a credit card to our mobile, allowing us to pay for things like restaurant bills, parking meters, and cab fares using our phone. This is a promising concept, but the services are not yet nationwide, and the process needs fine-tuning, as I found in some recent hands-on trials.


09/16/2005 Mobile Fuel Cells

Adoption of long-lasting and renewable fuel cells for powering mobile devices will start to accelerate significantly in 2006, according to a study released Thursday by market research firm NanoMarkets.

The study claimed that sales of the fuel cells will reach $1.6 billion by 2010. The growth will be spurred by the fact that mobile devices are becoming more sophisticated and require ever-more power, according to the study. This problem has actually slowed down release of new mobile devices.

09/08/2005 Satellite Communications Fills Katrina's Telephone Void

With most landline and cell phone networks still dead in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast where Hurricane Katrina hit hardest, there has been an almost panicky run to satellite phone service, which has remained uninterrupted in the days since the hurricane plowed into the region.

“Our phones are ringing off the hook,” said Liz DeCastro, a spokeswoman for Iridium Satellite. “We’ve just shipped 10,000 phones and we’re ready to ship another 6,000.”

There has been a 3,000 percent increase in traffic in the region since the hurricane landed in the area, DeCastro added.


09/08/2005 Free Phones, Web Assistance for Katrina Victims

Tech and telecom companies are digging through their warehouses and sending everything from batteries to buses to areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.

With power and telephone service down in the hardest-hit areas, communications gear for rescue workers is one major need.

Motorola has shipped about 1,300 cell phones and 21,000 other pieces of emergency communications equipment to relief groups. Microsoft dispatched three buses - normally used for product-marketing tours - equipped with satellite Internet connections. AOL sent three similar trucks, and stuffed them with T-shirts, toys and DVDs for evacuees.


09/06/2005 Wireless Coming Back to New Orleans

A number of wireless carriers said this weekend they are starting to restore service in the New Orleans area in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, in some cases with generators on the roofs of hotels.

The collapse of the communications network in the New Orleans area has been widely blamed for contributing to the disaster there, as local officials were unable to talk to each other and to federal authorities to arrange relief in the days after Katrina laid waste to the city.

Verizon Wireless said it is at work restoring parts of New Orleans and surrounding areas including Mandeville, Lacombe, Hammond and Covington. It has also restored Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which is being used for relief airlifts.


09/05/2005 Text Messages to Keep Tabs on Croatian School Children

Croatian children will find it more difficult to mess up in school and keep it secret this year as information about their performance will be available to parents at the touch of a mobile phone button, an official said.

Thanks to a programme financed by the education ministry, parents can opt to receive reports about their children's school achievements and attendance via SMS text messages, Drazen Vikic Topic of the education ministry said.

"Parents will receive general information on school events, activities as well as on children's behavior and marks," he said.


09/05/2005 Apple's iPod to set European mobiles ringing

European mobile phone operators are jumping on the iPod bandwagon and hope to secure deals that will give them access to a wealth of hot tracks from Apple Computer Inc's famed iTunes music store.

09/01/2005 Study Finds Cell Phones Don't Cause Tumors

Using a mobile phone for ten years does not significantly increase a person's risk of developing a tumor, according to a new study from the UK's Institute of Cancer Research.

The investigation was the largest one to date that has studied the relationship between mobile phones and acoustic neuromas, a type of tumor that occurs close to the ear, according to the study's authors.


"The results of our study suggest that there is no substantial risk in the first decade after starting use. Whether there are longer-term risks remains unknown, reflecting the fact that this is a relatively recent technology," Anthony Swerdlow, professor and lead investigator at the Institute of Cancer Research, said in a statement.
