The Return Of The Real Walkie-Talkie

The Return Of The Real Walkie-Talkie 12/19/2003 02:37 PM
Forget push-to-talk, in Hong Kong people are going old school, and buying traditional "walkie-talkie" 2-way radios. People use them for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't sound that dissimilar to here in the US. I own a set of 2-way radios that I use when snowboarding with friends, so we can find each other. However, in Hong Kong it's apparently becoming something of an obsession for people to use just while walking around. So why aren't they using push-to-talk type solutions on mobile phones? They're actually interested in the CB like quality of being able to talk to anyone "out there" on the same channel. Maybe that's an area the push-to-talk folks need to explore: push-to-talk chat rooms. Then again, maybe (hopefully, please) it's just a fad.

Rumor: Nextel Working With Motorola on
"Service Master" Bluetooth Phone

Rumor: Nextel Working With Motorola on
"Service Master" Bluetooth Phone 08/20/2004 06:20 AM

One of our more reliable tipsters had this little nugget to drop. Take it for what it's worth:

I was talking to guy in a waiting room while we were both getting our cars serviced. Turns out he is some sort of higher up corporate level Nextel employee and he's impressed that my dad's business is on Nextel.

So I said to the guy, "When are you gonna finally get on the Bluetooth bandwagon?"

He told me they have a Bluetooth phone in the pipeline they are calling the "Service Master" that they developed with Motorola (surprise). Basically he said the only reason they are coming out with it is that Stanley Steamer, ChemLawn, and a few other companies comprising some 30,000 accounts demanded the bluetooth technology from Nextel and that's a big chunk of their business so they decided to keep them happy.

He didn't give a time frame for the release of the phone but indicated that the named businesses would be the first to get them.

FCC Gives Nextel Spectrum Shuffle
Approval, But Does Nextel Approve?

FCC Gives Nextel Spectrum Shuffle
Approval, But Does Nextel Approve? 07/08/2004 05:39 PM
Reuters reports that the FCC commissioners voted 5-0 in favor of what sounded like a Nextel plan to reorganize an ugly band: Nextel owns tiny slices of a very ugly chopped up range in the 700 and 800 MHz, and their proposal was to reorganize it so that the public-safety purposes to which other slices are put can be consolidated and provided with more reliability. For their part, Nextel would receive a contiguous range in the 1.9 GHz band, and be less likely to cause interference in public-safety bands--which many blame not on Nextel but on the equipment used for fire, police, and emergencies--and have an easier time in providing cellular coverage at those higher frequencies. The FCC values the deal at $4.8 billion, but will give Nextel credit for $1.6 billion in returning the lower-band frequencies. Nextel has to put up a line of credit for $2.5 billion to cover relocation costs, which are allowed to exceed that amount. If Nextel's final bill is less than $3.2 billion, they have to pay the government the difference. Nextel's response was muted; they had wanted to pay $1.36 billion. Other cellular operators were complaining that the deal gave Nextel too much; it looks like the FCC chose this approach to make it worthwhile to public safety without letting Nextel off the hook....
