Wireless Data Currently About Ubiquity,
Not Speed

Wireless Data Currently About Ubiquity,
Not Speed 09/22/2004 02:58 PM
We've already joked about how all wireless data services, no matter how fast, start their pricing at $80/month, in the hopes that business users with expense accounts will sign up while the network provider works out all their network and capacity problems. The prices eventually drop as the provider feels better about the network and (much more importantly) competitors have launched their own, faster, networks also at the $80 price point. Still, in an interview about wireless data offerings, the co-CEO of wireless data company Seven, provides an interesting rationale for the $80 pricing. He basically admits that it's too expensive for the power user, but just fine for the casual user. Seems a bit counter-intuitive, doesn't it? The power user, of course, is also a bandwidth hog -- and the carriers don't want bandwidth hogs clogging up these networks, so no matter what the price, the speeds of most wireless data service offerings aren't enough. However, for the more casual user, bandwidth isn't nearly as big an issue. For the casual user signing up for wireless data plans, the issue is ubiquitous connectivity -- and that's the target audience for these users. So, the question being asked is the wrong one. The interviewer is basically asking how they can justify charging $80/month for "what amounts to a very slow DSL connection." The answer (though, not this directly) is basically that users are buying the ubiquity and the mobility -- not the speed.

Cingular must really like me 02/18/2004 02:23 AM

After suffering through a year of terrible service and living with a broken phone for months while I waited for number portability, I finally switched from Cingular to AT&T Wireless last November, the day that number portability took effect. Cingular did a brief bit of marketing to me to try and convince me to stay with them. They offered new phones and touted their infrastructure upgrades but I could not be swayed. I still switched.

Now they’ve taken extreme measures to get me back as a customer. They bought AT&T Wireless for $41 billion dollars.

I really wanted the Motorola A630 to rock, but almost everyone who finally has gotten their hands on one has been less than impressed. This new LG phone for Cingular looks promising, though, if only because it's got a similar form factor and has a focus on IM. The LG F9100 doesn't even have Bluetooth or a camera, which is sort of a bummer, I guess, but I could deal with it if the IM client was well crafted. We'll see soon, I guess, as it's gotten FCC approval.

Cingular buys AT+T Wireless 02/17/2004 11:47 AM
$41 billion. What will the resulting company be, and do? Wow. Dan Gillmor has this to say about why the mega-merger shouldn't worry those concerned about carrier consolidation:

This merger won't necessarily be bad for competition.I've been using AT&T Wireless' GSM service for about a year now. Quality of service is marginal, and the customer service has been a bit lower than marginal. But Cingular, also a GSM carrier, has an even worse reputation. So maybe combining these two networks will create something that offers at least reasonable quality.

Cingular probably overpaid, but it's smart to make this deal in at least one respect. There's only room for a couple of mergers before the market gets too cozy for real competition. While expecting serious antitrust scrutiny from the Bush administration is probably futile, there's probably enough angst in Congress to keep consolidation from being rampant.

Cingular Buys AT&T Wireless; Whither
3G?

Cingular Buys AT&T Wireless; Whither
3G? 02/17/2004 11:44 AM
Cingular has successful bid for AT&T Wireless -- and where's the data discussion in all this?: The coverage of the AT&T Wireless deal focused almost exclusively on customer acquisition, marketing budgets, infrastructure, and voice revenue, despite the growing certainty that next-generation (3G) cell data and voice services will be the biggest competitive factors for U.S.-based carriers in the remainder of this decade. AT&T Wireless has nationwide EDGE (about 100 Kbps top realistic speed, but more like high-modem speeds reliably). Cingular has GPRS, but last year was saying they would be building out EDGE quickly, and then hasn't discussed it since. The combined company will obviously focus its efforts on a quicker rollout of W-CDMA, the GSM evolution standard for 3G data/voice, especially with the commitment of Verizon Wireless of $1 billion to fully deploy 1xEvDO (up to 400 Kbps) nationwide this year. (Verizon Wireless has overnight become the No. 2 U.S. carrier, pending approval of the Cingular acquisition of AT&T Wireless.) A not-so-obscure factoid missed in all of the reporting I've seen about AT&T Wireless is its requirement to repay a $6.1 billion -- yes, BILLION -- loan to DoCoMo if they don't have four U.S. cities set up by Dec. 31, 2004, with commercially offered 3G data services. (Here's an article from last July about it.) EDGE is 2.5G and doesn't qualify, as I understand it, but I haven't seen an update on the story. It's strange that in a $41 billion deal a loan of $6.1 billion that would need to be repaid if conditions weren't met that are currently unmet wasn't highlighted as one of the liabilities of acquiring the company. I can only hope that Cingular did more due diligence than some of the business press....
