* General ad info: Click here | Today's Top News 1. AT&T to rural carriers: Seek LTE interoperability with Sprint, T-Mobile
AT&T (NYSE:T) responded to the newly renamed Competitive Carriers Association's push for 700 MHz interoperability by suggesting, among other things, that CCA members should be seeking seamless coverage across the LTE deployments of Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S), T-Mobile USA and A-Block carriers instead of demanding interoperability with AT&T. Band Class 12 includes the Lower A Block 700 MHz spectrum held by small licensees, while AT&T holds Lower B and C Block 700 MHz spectrum in Band Class 17. AT&T has said it worked with 3GPP to create Band Class 17 to guard against interference from Channel 51 broadcast transmissions adjacent to the Band Class 12 Lower A Block spectrum. But small operators are calling for the FCC to force interoperability across all paired spectrum blocks in the Lower 700 MHz band, saying that will better enable nationwide roaming and broader device availability. "A Band 12/17 combination is but one option for 700 MHz A Block licensees," said Joan Marsh, AT&T vice president of federal regulatory, in an entry on the operator's Public Policy Blog. The FCC should not mandate that option "while ignoring all the other LTE band class combinations that could provide A block licensees with broad LTE support," she added. For example, small operators cannot rely on Sprint's LTE deployment in the PCS G block unless a Band 25 chip set is built into their LTE devices or T-Mobile's planned AWS-1 LTE deployment absent use of a Band 4 chipset, said Marsh. That argument appears particularly pertinent given that T-Mobile and Sprint are among the CCA's newest members, and mandated Band 12/17 interoperability would have no impact on enabling fellow CCA members to roam onto those two operators' LTE networks. The CCA was known as the Rural Carriers Association (RCA) until earlier this month, an acknowledgement of the fact that the group's revised bylaws allow carrier members with fewer than 80 million subscribers rather than the former benchmark of 10 million. In June, the CCA added Clearwire (NASDAQ:CLWR) to its membership roster. Last March the group added T-Mobile USA as a member, and last year it added Sprint Nextel. "A device that supports LTE Band 12, 25 and 4 would provide RCA members with seamless coverage across the LTE deployments of Sprint, T-Mobile and the A-Block carriers. Perhaps that is the solution that RCA should be pursuing," wrote Marsh. On Sept. 10, the same day it announced its new name, the CCA joined with a new group called the Interoperability Alliance, to push for 700 MHz interoperability. The alliance also includes small businesses, trade associations and consumer interest groups. Grant Spellmeyer, executive director of federal affairs and public policy for US Cellular, alleged in a release touting the alliance's formation that AT&T's decision to deploy LTE "on a separate, unnecessary band class" has erected barriers to seamless connectivity and fractured the device ecosystem. However, AT&T's Marsh attempts to counter such arguments by noting, "LTE is currently being deployed both domestically and globally on a multiplicity of different spectrum bands and the deployments are and will remain fragmented across bands. Every carrier, regardless of size, will have to rely on multi-band chipset solutions to provide full LTE coverage." There are in excess of 25 LTE FDD band classes, said Marsh. Like T-Mobile, MetroPCS' (NYSE:PCS) AWS-1 LTE deployment requires a Band 4 chipset, CSpire requires a Band 5 chip set, while deployments in the future AWS-4 bands being eyed by Dish Network will require a Band 23 chip set and LTE in Clearwire's 2.5 GHz spectrum requires a Band 41 chipset. Further, deployments in 700 MHz spectrum require a Band 12 (US Cellular), a Band 13 (Verizon) or a Band 17 (AT&T) chipset, depending up the spectrum blocks supported, she said. "If you are deploying in multiple bands, as most carriers will be required to do, you'll need to support multiple band classes domestically, and a few more internationally if you want to support LTE roaming around the globe," said Marsh. The FCC initiated a proceeding in March 2012 regarding a proposed rulemaking on 700 MHz interoperability. The proceeding could be completed by year's end. For more:

2. Study: Carriers overcharging on actual data consumption
Researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles say a data-counting issue in mobile networks may be causing operators to overcharge their customers for monthly data consumption. UCLA researcher Chunyi Peng, along with three colleagues, determined that even typical use of a phone could lead the data to be over-counted by 5 to 7 percent, reported Technology Review, which is published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The researchers came to their conclusion after using a data-logging app on Android phones to check the data use being recorded by mobile networks. "The carriers were found to usually count data correctly, but they tended to over-count--and hence potentially overcharge--when a person used applications that stream video or audio, and particularly when coverage was weak or unreliable," said the article. Peng said the study was performed on two large U.S. cell-phone networks that together account for 50 percent of that nation's mobile subscribers. That leaves unclear which networks were tested as the market leaders, AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ), are generally estimated to hold a combined 65-70 percent of the U.S. market. AT&T reported 105.2 million customers at the end of 2012's second quarter, while Verizon reported 111.3 million. Overall, the United States has some 325 million wireless subscriptions. The data-consumption counting problem stems from the fact that operators count data sent over their networks whether or not a handset receives it, said Peng, who presented her work last month at the MobiCom conference in Istanbul. Video and audio streaming apps are particularly affected because their protocols do not require the end user's device to acknowledge the receipt of every chunk of data, or halt data transmission immediately, as Web browsers or many other apps do. Thus, video apps might keep sending data over the network long after a device has lost its connection. Though operators may consider their current data-counting practices fair, since their networks bear the burden of carrying data regardless of whether a device receives it, Peng suggested operators could do a better job of charging customers for what their devices actually receive. "From the perspective of a mobile user, I think it's not fair," she said, "because I didn't get to use it." On the flipside, the same researchers found a way to hide data from a cellular network by disguising a data request as a DNS request, which is normally used by a Web browser to convert a user-friendly domain name into its numerical IP address. Peng said the team was able to use 200 megabytes of data without the carrier recording any of it. Technology Review noted that Benjamin Lennett, a technology policy director at think tank New America Foundation, said that if the FCC is willing to allow usage-based prices, the agency should "ensure that consumers are being charged accurately." Despite their growing use by carriers, usage-based data plans have not won over all mobile customers. A recent consumer survey conducted by Parks Associates revealed that 31 percent of AT&T subscribers, 30 percent of Verizon subscribers and 35 percent of T-Mobile USA subscribers say they prefer unlimited data plans, while 44 percent of Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) subscribers selected that option.

3. Smartphones' Wi-Fi network searches bleeding user info
By tracking smartphones' attempts to hook up with Wi-Fi networks, security researchers at Sensepost were able to profile the gadgets' users and subsequently link users' home addresses and other information to the devices. The security loophole is enabled because smartphones are increasingly designed to maintain a list of previously accessed Wi-Fi base stations, which the gadgets are constantly seeking in order to enable quick and seamless Wi-Fi access. According to the SecurityG33k blog, researchers were able to pick out people's houses purely through analysis of the SSIDs their devices had logged. The Sensepost researchers, Daniel Cuthbert and Glenn Wilkinson, exploited the loophole with a distributed data interception framework they called Snoopy. "We tested in numerous countries and during one rush-hour period in central London," Cuthbert told The Register. "We saw over 77,000 devices and as a result, were able to map device IDs to the last five APs (access points) they connected to. Then using geo-location, we were able to map them out to physical locations." Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) devices were the "noisiest" in the test. "Apple, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and so on do not have any documentation about how noisy their devices are," Cuthbert said. The researchers, who discussed their project during the recent 44con conference in London, claim no UK laws were violated as they only passively tracked Wi-Fi network requests rather than completely intercepting them. Data was gathered via Wi-Fi access points they set up around London to collect the probe requests of wireless devices carried by passersby. "We could work out the most common movement patterns using the SSID probes sent out from their mobile phones," said Cuthbert. The researchers recommend that users disable Wi-Fi scanning in devices until they needed to actually access the Web. However, as mobile operators increasingly seek options for offloading data from their cellular networks, many in the industry have pushed for default Wi-Fi scanning in smartphones that would be beyond user control. Software is already available that can direct a handset to switch on Wi-Fi functionality--even if a user has turned it off--and link automatically to any nearby Wi-Fi network that it has previously connected to without the user being aware of what's going on.

4. 3.5 GHz spectrum sharing effort could take years to produce results
The FCC's plan work to open up frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band is all about small cells and spectrum sharing, the latter being a concept that does not excite many operators, and it could take years before carriers are able to use any of the targeted frequencies. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the commission will initiate formal steps by year's end to implement key recommendations from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), which released a report two months ago advocating wider deployment of small cells and shared, rather than exclusive use of spectrum. Genachowski specifically said the commission would work to free up 100 MHz in the 3.5 GHz band but did not actually mention sharing in the brief announcement. However, ARS Technica confirmed with an FCC spokesperson that the commission plans to explore ways to open up for sharing with wireless carriers the 3550-3650 MHz spectrum currently being used in government radar operations. Genachowski, who in the past advocated use of this band for small cells, also did not specify what type of sharing he had in mind--geographic sharing or temporal sharing. PCAST recommended taking the TV white space approach in opening up the 3.5 GHz band to "general authorized access" devices. White-space spectrum sits between TV channels, and unlicensed TV Band Devices (TVBDs) using TV white space spectrum must be able to communicate with a spectrum database to identify which channels are available at a given location, and they also need to employ cognitive radio operation, including spectrum sensing and management. The TVWS industry is still quite embryonic and relies upon passive end-user devices rather than the more active, intelligent devices PCAST expects to come down the pike in coming years, which some industry players, such as CTIA, say could take years to develop and use commercially. Yet moves in Europe might boost development of savvier cognitive radio technologies. The European Commission is working to gain support from both the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for a broad shared-spectrum regulatory environment. Further, TVWS has been built for fixed or nomadic uses rather than highly mobile ones. However, that could match up quite well with actual small cell usage, which is envisioned for dense urban areas where people are consuming massive amounts of wireless data, such as streaming video. GigaOM contends the 3.5 GHz band "would be ideal for small cell deployments," because operators would be assured that their small cell deployments in that band would not create interference with their primary macro networks. Further, the higher 3.5 GHz frequencies, which do not propagate as far as lower ones, would be well suited to the diminutive coverage areas needed to be served by small cells. However, critics have said that for small cell networks to offers the most spectral efficiencies, they need to be tightly integrated with an operator's macrocell networks, which may not be possible under a shared-spectrum scenario, particularly if the frequencies are unlicensed. Many operators, AT&T (NYSE:T) in particular, are dubious about the opportunities for spectrum sharing, preferring to have exclusive use to frequencies, particularly those that they pay the FCC to use. Further, they would prefer to use spectrum below 3 GHz. However, mobile operators' growing need for spectrum could eventually force their hands. For example, spectrum-strapped T-Mobile USA is already part of a joint industry-government effort to test spectrum sharing in the 1755-1780 MHz band, which the operator hopes will open up the AWS-3 band for eventual auction long before all government entities are cleared from the spectrum. Given the technological hurdles and the question of how quickly mobile operators will get on board with the idea of spectrum sharing, it will likely take years before the 3.5 GHz is actually shared between the government and wireless operators that use the frequencies for commercial services.

5. Comcast lights up 2,500 Wi-Fi hotspots in New England
Cable operator Comcast switched on almost 2,500 Wi-Fi hotspots throughout eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, where it is offering free Xfinity WiFi service to its data subscribers. The highest density of hotspots is in Boston, Brookline and Cambridge, Mass., said the Patriot-Ledger. Service is also available at hotspots located in communities from Cape Cod, Mass. to Portsmouth, N.H. The 2,500 hotspots include freestanding hotspots and hotspots in small to medium-size businesses that have Comcast Business Class services with a Wi-Fi hotspot, according to CED. Comcast customers can sign on to use the service whenever they see "xfinitywifi" on the list of available networks on their wireless devices. Comcast offers Xfinity WiFi at thousands of outdoor and indoor Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the greater Boston area, the greater Philadelphia area and its suburbs, plus areas of New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. Comcast is part of the CableWiFi roaming partnership, which was announced in May and also includes fellow cable operators Time Warner Cable, Cablevision, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks.

Also Noted SPOTLIGHT ON... Intel working on cloud-based radio access network Work on a cloud-based radio access network (C-RAN) and a separate effort to increase the streaming video capacity of wireless networks were two research efforts highlighted at last week's Intel Developer Forum. The company said it is collaborating with the China Mobile Research Institute in Beijing to design and prototype a full-scale C-RAN, which could reduce operator capex and opex. "Instead of simply moving the proprietary base station hardware to the data center, it is replaced by standard Intel-based servers running a software-defined radio application," Intel said. Meanwhile, Intel, Cisco Systems and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) are sponsoring a joint academic research program on a Video Aware Wireless Network (VAWN), which aims to increase the streaming video capacity of wireless networks while improving the viewing experience by optimizing network performance on an end-to-end basis.

Yankee Group: Clear positioning is the key to 4G success
 | | Declan Lonergan | Hundreds of mobile network operators (MNOs) around the world are currently in planning mode for 4G/LTE. Success with this new technology is not only dependent upon how operators deploy the networks. They must also succeed in how they launch and communicate their offer in the marketplace. To guide operators as they define their approaches we have identified five specific ways to position LTE in today's data-centric world. While this is not an exhaustive list, it does introduce clarity into today's debate about LTE technology and the benefits it delivers to end-users and operators alike. No. 1 for Tablet Users Pitch LTE as the preferred connectivity solution for tablet owners who want more than patchy Wi-Fi service. Keep in mind that tablet owners differ--both in demographics and behavior--from non-owners. Understanding these differences allows operators to cater their LTE packages to tablet-owners, a demographic that clearly sees the value in robust and reliable connectivity. Who are the tablet-owners? Our research shows they are: - Younger. In fact, tablet owners today are more than 10 years younger on average than non-owners.
- More affluent. The average tablet owner earns $70,000 per year and has an annual household income of $87,000. The average non-owner earns $56,000 per year and has an annual household income of $66,000.
- Smartphone enthusiasts. Respondents who own a tablet are 31 percent more likely to own a smartphone than people who don't yet own a tablet.
Tablets plus LTE is a match made in heaven. Against this backdrop, operators that position LTE as the ideal... continued Read more about: MNOs
