phoneboy

I'd seen prominent bloggers tagging each other in the past, jealously reading their posts hoping that one day I could join their ranks as one of the tagged. Well, turns out today is the day my dreams have come true. The notorious blogger and extremely talented Phoneboy tagged me in his blog tag post after he was tagged in the chain of Jeff Pulver's latest blog tagging extravaganza. As part of the game I must list five blogs I read from around the world and tag their owners. I don't read that many international blogs so I'm going to cheat a little:

1. Peter Chandler of the EQO Community, so hot right now (Vancouver, Canada).
2. Darla Mack, Days in the life of a Mobile Diva, even hotter right now (NC, USA).
3. Vivek Puri, StartupSquad, he gives you the beat on the street (NJ, USA, but he has an India tech blog).
4. Ricky Cadden, Symbian-Guru.com, he likes our coffee mug (TX, USA).
5. Guardian Sport Blog, I don't know anyone there but I'm a big EPL fan (Manchester, UK).

Good times.

Last week the CTIA issued a report "dispelling wireless myths" of the American mobile industry.  In my opinion, the CTIA is essentially a well funded lobby group for the big American wireless carriers and this report is proof in the pudding.  The Phoneboy wrote an excellent response that all on the verge of brainwashing should read to dispel the real myths of the American Wireless industry.  One point I particularly agree with him on is the quality and availability of the average American handset.  When phone shopping from Europe carriers, I've noticed that there are a plethora of high end choices at relatively low prices.  American's are not exposed to the range of handsets they deserve, particularly those with CDMA carriers.

In other news, CTIA is again spouting off in the hopes of ensuring that Google doesn't get any of the 700MHz spectrum.
