Verizon responds to AT&T’s Map For That lawsuit: ‘the truth hurts’

Editorial: Hey, AT&T — drop lawsuits, not calls

AppleInsider published a piece this week that does a good job rounding up the latest counterarguments we’ve been hearing against Verizon’s claims in its suddenly ultra-aggressive attacks on archrival AT&T’s network — attacks that have offended AT&T right into getting the legal team involved.

Sprint cutting up to 2,500 more employees from the payroll

TiVo’s AN0100 802.11n WiFi adapter hits the FCC, stirs up imaginations

TiVo’s Wireless G USB network adapter has been out and about since late 2005, so to say an 802.11n version is past due would be understating things dramatically. At long last, it seems as if high-speed network access is coming to the heralded DVR, with an AN0100 802.11n AP recently splashing down at the FCC. [...]
