Today's Top News

1. Google, Cisco, IBM may transform payphones into Wi-Fi hotspots in NYC


Several big names in telecom are considering a plan that would breathe new life into 7,300 payphones in New York City by converting them into free Wi-Fi hotspots.

According to a several reports, representatives from Google NASDAQ: GOOG), Cisco, IBM and Samsung were among the attendees at an informational meeting hosted by city officials to find out details on the planned project. Bids for the proposal are due today.  

The project calls for replacing payphones with Wi-Fi hotspots in all five boroughs of New York City. While the companies can't charge for Internet access, they can charge for phone services, except for 911 and 311 calls, according to Bloomberg, which cited the city's RFP on the project.

The Wi-Fi hotspots will be located in the city's most populated areas and will generate revenue by advertising on their side panels, said the RFP.

This project isn't new. It was first piloted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2012 and is now being championed by Mayor Bill de Blasio. In 2012 the city said that it intended to deploy the Wi-Fi hotspots to 13,000 payphones and that payphone companies would be responsible for the maintenance and other ongoing costs.

This also isn't the first time the idea of converting payphones to Wi-Fi hotspots has been circulated. Back in 2005, Verizon halted its two-year-old effort to convert outdoor phone booths in New York City to hotspots, contending that its ongoing cdma2000 EV-DO expansion would make Wi-Fi hotspots obsolete.

2. Verizon, AT&T oppose Dish, T-Mobile's plans to split AWS-3 auction


Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T) have signaled their opposition to proposals from T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) and Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) to effectively split the upcoming auction of AWS-3 spectrum between paired and unpaired airwaves.

The auction is scheduled to start on Nov. 13 and will be the most consequential since the 2008 auction of 700 MHz spectrum. The FCC plans to auction the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz and 2155-2180 MHz bands, which are collectively known as AWS-3. The FCC is currently working on technical rules for the auction.

The 1695-1710 MHz band will be unpaired spectrum used for low-power uplink operations. The 1755-1780 MHz band will be licensed for low-power uplink operations and will be paired with the 2155-2180 MHz band for downlink operations.

T-Mobile wants the FCC to treat the unpaired 1695-1710 MHz spectrum differently from the paired 1755-1780 MHz and 2155-2180 MHz bands. In an FCC filing, the carrier argued that not only will licensees in these bands "have different technical requirements, but they will also have different obligations with respect to coordination with federal users. The different requirements and configuration of these bands mean that they are not substitutes for each other."

T-Mobile thinks the FCC should adopt different auction rules for the different bands. "If, for instance, bidding activity stops on the 1695-1710 MHz band, the auction for that band should close," the carrier wrote. "There is no reason to keep the auction open for that spectrum, even if bidding activity continues for the paired 1755-1780 MHz/2155-2180 MHz bands. Such an approach will add certainty to the auction process and avoid delaying the close of the auction any longer than necessary, which is particularly important in light of the upcoming statutory deadline to auction the AWS-3 bands," which is February 2015.

Further, T-Mobile warned of negative consequences if the FCC keeps all of the bidding bundled together. "A contrary approach--leaving the entire auction open even when interest in one band diminishes--may prompt insincere bidding by, for example, allowing bidders interested in one band to "park" bids in another merely to preserve eligibility, artificially prolonging the auction."

In a July 9 filing, Dish essentially agreed with T-Mobile's arguments on AWS-3.

Verizon, in a July 16 filing, responded and wrote that "we oppose Dish's proposal to bifurcate the auction into two separate auctions, one for the 1695-1710 MHz band and another for the paired spectrum at 1755-1780/2155-2180 MHz." In a mirror of T-Mobile's argument, Verizon wrote that such a plan would "needlessly complicate the auction, requiring FCC staff and bidders to track bidding eligibility, activity waivers, and stopping rules separately for two auctions, and we questioned Dish's assumption that the two bands are not substitutes for one another."

In a July 15 filing, AT&T, for its part, said the company rejects "the proposal by T-Mobile and Dish to have separate auctions for the paired and unpaired AWS-3 bands."

Meanwhile, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) recently published federal agencies' transition plans for vacating or sharing AWS-3 spectrum. The agencies' transition plans provide information on the 1695-1710 MHz and 1755-1780 MHz bands and include timelines outlining when agencies will discontinue use of the bands or be ready to share them with carriers, and provide estimates of the cost of relocating or sharing in the bands.

3. Lawmakers introduce bill to open up 5.9 GHz band for Wi-Fi use


Four House lawmakers joined together to introduce legislation that would direct the FCC to conduct tests within the 5.9 GHz band to see if more can be opened up for unlicensed Wi-Fi without interfering with current users. 

Cable companies have been eager for the FCC to open up more of the 5 GHz band to Wi-Fi use. However, they could run into opposition from car makers and the auto industry at large because part of the band has been dedicated to safety and transportation applications, something the House bill acknowledges. The bill would also create a study to examine the barriers to Wi-Fi deployment in low-income areas. The House bill is a companion bill to one introduced in June by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

"From personal communication to transportation, healthcare and beyond, wireless technologies are changing and improving our lives," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said in a statement. "The Wi-Fi Innovation Act will make available the spectrum necessary to support the best new inventions and the jobs and prosperity these new discoveries will foster."

Issa introduced the bill along with Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), Bob Latta (R-Ohio) and Doris Matsui (D-Calif.).

The lower portion of the 5 GHz band is where much of the attention around Wi-Fi has been directed recently. Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) is seeking two waivers from the FCC which reveal the MSO is extremely eager to make use of the 100 MHz of 5 GHz U-NII-1 band spectrum that the commission voted in March to open up for broad, unlicensed Wi-Fi use.

In March the FCC eliminated a rule that had prohibited outdoor Wi-Fi operations in the 5 GHz U-NII-1 band and also increased allowable power levels in the band. The commission's order allows the use, under certain conditions, of existing Wi-Fi equipment designed to operate in the commonly used U-NII-3 band (5.725-5.825 MHz) in the newly opened U-NII-1 band (5150-5250 MHz.)

The Senate legislation and the new House bill focus on the upper portion of the 5 GHz band. Rubio's bill would require the FCC to "provide additional unlicensed spectrum in the 5850–5925 MHz band under technical rules suitable for the widespread commercial development of unlicensed operations in the band." However, the FCC has allocated that 75 MHz swatch for cars to talk to other cars and cars to talk to infrastructure using a technology known as dedicated short range communications.

The Senate bill would require the FCC to seek comment on "interference-mitigation techniques and technologies, and potential rechannelization, that would accommodate both incumbent licensees, including Dedicated Short Range Communications Services licensees, and widespread commercial unlicensed operations in the 5850–5925 MHz band."

Carmakers worry that more unlicensed operations will create interference that threatens nascent vehicle-to-vehicle operations and crash-avoidance systems, while MSOs argue that two can coexist.

"While we support efforts to make better use of the nation's airwaves and recognize the cable industry's interest in gaining access to the 5.9 GHz band," said Intelligent Transportation Society of America President Scott Belcher," "I cannot think of a more appropriate, innovative and important use of spectrum than saving tens of thousands of lives each year and reducing the nearly $1 trillion cost of crashes and congestion to American families and our nation's economy."

Belcher pointed out that after the Senate bill was introduced, Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Gregory Winfree had testified that the department had "serious concerns about any spectrum sharing that prevents or delays access to the desired channel, or otherwise preempts the safety applications." He also said that the DoT was "unaware of any existing or proposed technical solution which guarantees interference free operation of the DSRC safety critical applications while allowing Wi-Fi enabled devices to share the 5.9 GHz spectrum."

4. Ericsson CEO says AT&T, Verizon unlikely to outsource network management


ASPEN, Colo.--Despite rumors that Tier 1 operators AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) may be talking to Ericsson about outsourcing the management of their networks, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) CEO Hans Vestberg said that is a very unlikely scenario because those operators have size and scale and a history of doing it themselves. "I wouldn't believe they would outsource their networks," Vestberg said during an interview with FierceWireless.

However, Vestberg said that doesn't mean that other operators globally are not considering this option. He said that when Ericsson started its managed network business back in 2002, it didn't have any contracts and many people in the industry thought that it was very important for operators to operate their networks.

But the tide has turned. Vestberg says that the managed services business is now a multibillion-dollar business and the company has more than 1 billion subscribers across all its managed networks. "We have a huge slice of the business," he said.

Indeed, ABI Research recently reported that Ericsson and Huawei each hold about 30 percent of the $13 billion telecom network managed services market. The firm said that these vendors, plus Nokia's (NYSE:NOK) networks unit, have done a good job of benefiting from the telecom industry's "rationalization turmoil." Together, all three vendors account for 85 percent of all managed services revenues, according to ABI.

Meanwhile, Vestberg maintains that every operator handles the outsourcing differently--some outsource all of the network, while others outsource only certain parts such as the billing system or OSS. For example, last month T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) signed a long-term managed services agreement with Ericsson, in which Ericsson will supply the operator with its Service Agility package, including unified charging, billing, order management, product catalog and customer relationship management (CRM).

Sprint, of course, is Ericsson's largest U.S. managed network customer. The No. 3 operator inked a deal with Ericsson in 2009 that was valued at $5 billion. As part of the deal, Ericsson assumed responsibility for the day-to-day services, provisioning and maintenance of Sprint's CDMA, iDEN and wireline networks.  Sprint, however, retained full ownership and control of the network assets, the network strategy and all network investment decisions.

5. Cisco, Ericsson CEOs claim they always are thinking 5 to 10 years ahead


ASPEN, Colo.--Cisco CEO John Chambers and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) CEO Hans Vestberg may have very different management styles but one area where they are similar is that they claim to always be thinking five to 10 years into the future.

At the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference here, Chambers said that his company typically sees trends five to 10 years ahead of its peers. Specifically, he said that Cisco started looking at the Internet of Things more than seven years ago. "We did the [connected] refrigerator and car demos 10 years ago," he said.

Chambers also said that he believes that mobility and IT will infiltrate all areas of industry and that soon the CEOs of firms like Walmart or Allstate will start describing their companies as technology companies that specialize in retail or insurance. "Technology will change everything," he said.

Likewise, Ericsson's Vestberg said that his obsession with the future is what instigated the "networked society" vision that the company is now promoting to the global telecom industry. Although former CEO Carl-Henric Svanberg came up with the term, Vestberg fine-tuned the strategy. Currently, he said, he is five years into that plan and the next phase is really to bring down the price points of networks and devices.

Vestberg said that the next-generation of wireless technology--or 5G--will help with that goal and that's why the company is so involved in the 5G standardization process through groups like the NGMN Alliance and METIS 2020. "By 2019 90 percent of people over age six will have a phone," Vestberg said in an interview with FierceWireless. "That's why we are working on standardization. I will sell the same equipment in Nairobi and in the U.S. That's how you get the price points down."

Of course, Vestberg admits that there are challenges to that vision, particularly the scarcity of available spectrum. However, he sees unlicensed spectrum continuing to play a key role.

Earlier this year Ericsson became more vocal in its desire to get 3GPP to enable LTE for use over unlicensed spectrum such as Wi-Fi. Ericsson's research unit said that unlicensed spectrum can be complementary, particularly if it's aggregated with licensed spectrum to increase network bandwidth.

SPOTLIGHT ON... Huawei, Qualcomm to show off live TV via eMBMS on a 'heavily loaded' network

Huawei and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) are working to push eMBMS technology by using it to broadcast live TV over a fully loaded wireless network in Europe. The companies said the test is intended to show broadcasters how much more efficient eMBMS is when compared with standard unicast streaming. Importantly, the demonstration--which will be conducted at the Future of Broadcasting Showcase in the Glasgow Science Centre--will show the same TV broadcast streamed via an eMBMS system and a unicast system, side by side.

The test, using content from the BBC, will run over EE's LTE network using its 2.6 GHz spectrum. The content will be delivered to a Huawei server in the EE test labs in the MPEG-DASH format, and then will be wrapped in an eMBMS transmission and sent to a base station at the Glasgow Science Centre. Conference attendees will be able to view the content on Qualcomm devices running its Snapdragon 800 processor and using its LTE Broadcast middleware.

Huawei's Kevin Tao, president of the company's Western European region, said the technology has the potential "to be a far more efficient way of delivering live content for broadcasters which will make the act of watching live TV much smoother with no interruptions."
