The Motley Fool - Shortly after we came back from our big vacation overseas in May, my Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) PowerBook was hit with a computer virus. I can't tell you which one, but it was enough to cripple my Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - News) Office for the Mac software. Symantec's (Nasdaq: SYMC - News) Norton Anti-Virus found the bug, and then eradicated it by exterminating my entire in-box. (Thanks, guys.)

Cingular buys AT+T Wireless

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....

Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure

Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure 06/03/2004 03:44 AM
The meat of the article is: “…Wireless security recommendations: Change your system defaults – everyone knows them. Change the Admin and SNMP passwords. Change the IP network range. Also change the Server Set ID (SSID). The SSID is a unique identifier for your wireless hub/router. The default SSID is set in the factory is definitely not unique. Don’t broadcast the SSID. While you can change the default ID, that does little if your hub or router broadcasts that SSID. Enable Wireless Encryption. WEP or something similar can be compromised, but it makes it significantly more difficult to compromise your information. The larger the key length, the better. Enable Shared Key Authentication. The default Open System setting lets anyone connect to your network with very minimal effort. Change your SNMP Community String. Create a Community String like it is a strong password. Enable MAC Address Codes. Again, this makes it more difficult for a hacker to compromise your home network. Set Wireless LAN cards to Infrastructure Mode. Most cards have the default Ad Hoc mode, which is less secure. Don’t rely only on the broadband firewall. A firewall at your home’s Internet entry point is critical. However, you should still have personal firewalls on all computers on your network, in case something makes it through your home’s firewall or a hacker does make it onto your network.”
