Ok, a little late starting, but the Tech O’ the Week is Wireless Broadband. Why? Well, because it’s time to skool some of my peops who keep predicting that the iPhone will be coming to Verizon/Sprint/Podunk Wireless “real soon now.” Um…no, but the answer is way more complicated than simply chips, networks, and wishful thinking.

So, first, we’ll rewind the conversation a bit to look at the state of wireless broadband, not just here, but around the world. Then we will look at the various wireless data technologies to see where they fit. Then, a peek into the near future to see where things are heading. Then, the coupe de grace’ (say it like Bugs would…) will come on Friday, when I will tell you why lightning will strike my fat ass before Apple ships a CDMA phone.

In the end, you will be skooled.

…The Surferboi! Long story, and a long day. Once again, the ‘Boi forgets his own #1 Golden Rule of Gittin’ Yo Party On.

“STOP.”

That one little word would have saved me from disaster. But noooo….and I also forgot Rule #2.

“NO MIXING.”

Yes, the tango with Mr. Tony did me in. Beer is great for me, especially since I drink the good stuff with the B-Vitamins & yummy hops. But why oh why do I forget rule #2, especially after a 7AM wakeup call.

Rookie. This is Surferboi signing off. Heading back to the minor leagues.
