The Shadow. New phone launch

When Apple launched the iPhone with AT&T in June, other carriers started scrambling to find something to match it. Today, T-Mobile USA is unveiling the Shadow, a phone that may not be too far off the mark. It has a big screen that slides up to reveal a keypad and has software with eye-catching graphics. The phone is a key part of an initiative launched a year ago to change T-Mobile from a low-cost provider to a company that sells premium services. That's a dramatic change from the brand's past association as the service that gives consumers the biggest bucket of minutes for the lowest cost.

Wireless broadband technology. A challenge for the Caribbean

Adoption of wireless broadband technology poses several challenges for the Caribbean, despite being an obvious option due to the very low level of DSL adoption in the region, according to Canadian network equipment supplier Nortel Networks. The primary concern is the cost of handsets, which can amount to 70% of an operator's costs when launching a new service. That cost can easily translate into a prohibitively high cost of the service for the end consumer. Regulators and operators should look at ways of achieving economies of scale to try and bring handset prices down.

In South and Central America, the two main mobile telecoms giants America Movil and Telefonica have a lot of buying power, which brings down the cost of handsets. The Caribbean on the other hand is dominated by two much smaller companies Cable & Wireless and Digicel.

Gold is a financial catastrophe insurance

There is an increasingly wide range of methods available to investors wanting to buy gold, or gain exposure to gold price movements. From gold coins to complex structured financial products, the most appropriate way will depend on the requirements and outlook of the individual investor.

My reasoning for my interest in gold bars is a little unique. I've tried to avoid the cliché stories about gold and gold bars. They're the easy stories to tell you. I'm avoiding them because, quite frankly, the easy stories gold bugs sell you are not the reason I'm buying.

I buy gold bars because, first of all, I believe that gold is cheap. Gold is a financial catastrophe insurance. And we haven't had a financial catastrophe in the U.S. in 25 years. I'm not predicting financial catastrophe, here. I'm simply buying catastrophe insurance, when it's at its cheapest.

United States is starting to look like a slowpoke on the Internet

The United States is starting to look like a slowpoke on the Internet. Examples abound of countries that have faster and cheaper broadband connections, and more of their population connected to them. What's less clear is how badly the country that gave birth to the Internet is doing, and whether the government needs to step in and do something about it. The Bush administration has tried to foster broadband adoption with a hands-off approach. If that's seen as a failure by the next administration, the policy may change.

In a move to get a clearer picture of where the U.S. stands, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved legislation that would develop an annual inventory of existing broadband services — including the types, advertised speeds and actual number of subscribers — available to households and businesses across the nation.

AT&T expanded AVOICS
