VON Folks Resurface with 4G Conference, Team Up With Rich Tehrani

If you thought this would never happen because it would take hell to freeze over, it must have. Well at least that's the rumor.

What I'm hearing is that long time VON business brain-trust, Scott Kargman, and VON Conference impresario, Carl Ford have teamed up with TMC's Rich Tehrani to produce the 4G Wireless Evolution Website and a conference in Miami next February.

The two websites are expected to go live tomorrow.

The premise of the conference and trade show are very simple. Be the eos of all things 4G. The 4G Wireless Evolution Conference becomes the first event dedicated solely to 4G technologies. It will take place February 2-4, 2009 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

The website takes advantage of the traffic driving capabilities of TMC and will be led by Carl Ford who has spent the last few months delving into all things 4G. It will feature 4G related news, feature articles, blogs, product reviews, and other resources that will be an asset to all those living in the 4G world or planning to.

I see this as a win for everyone.

4G Conference Coming from Vets in the Biz?

I am hearing rumors of an early 2009 4G conference being considered by some veteran conference types. This is the kind of event I love as it combines the new and newer with the establishment.

Consumer Guide For WiMax Now Out

Pal Paul Kapustka has his second WiMax report out and it's a goodie. It's a consumers' guide to WiMax.

From Paul:

– What the technology called “WiMax” is, and how it differs from home broadband services like DSL and cable modem, or cellular wireless data

– How its ability to keep users connected while mobile might empower new “local nomads” who want to take their Internet connectivity with them from home, to work and on their commutes

– How new pricing plans that include day passes and single bills for home and mobile service could help consumers lower their Internet access costs

The report also takes a look at the devices currently offered to connect to WiMax networks, and what the future might hold should WiMax connectivity find its way into consumer electronics or even automobiles. The new report is available for immediate download from www.sidecutreports.com for $149.95.

Skype Looking At WiMax

A report out of Taiwan has Skype looking seriously at WiMax.

I view this as a very logical step for the company as they really don't want to be a follower, but tend to lead in 2.0 type communications. Skype moving into WiMax isn't new, as their client already resides on the Nokia N810 WiMax Edition.
