Google to Bid on 700 MHz Frequency Spectrum First a bit of history. Over-the-air broadcast television uses three different blocks of frequencies. Fortunately, someone was very bright many years ago to just use channel numbers. Otherwise you would say that The Office is on 55.25 MHz every Thursday evening. Initially, television frequencies were going to…
Asus To Release a Line of Gap Bridging Computers I use a notebook computer along with a couple of different desktop computers. My notebook is really nothing more than a conduit to the web.

I am did not have my notebook computer with me, but I would guess that a terms and conditions page exists on the network. Many government wifi…
Day Two With T-Mobile HotSpot @Home This was the first day using the service outside of the home. Really worked well. The wi-fi in the office worked as expected. We work in a concrete and steel building with just one wireless access point so coverage can be spotty. The phone seems to switch over to…
Day One With T-Mobile HotSpot @Home We opened the boxes this afternoon and got started with setting up the router. I setup the wireless router using the web interface using WAP encryption for the wireless signal. The only difference in the web interface was the different model number. Everything else is exactly the same in…
Vonage May Fall As Well As I referred to in an earlier post, we are leaving Verizon to try the new T-Mobile HotSpot @Home offering. We were planning on keep one Vonage line for the kids, but they want in on the T-Mobile plan as well. We are going to test the reliability of the…
