Asked Wednesday about his company's exclusive relationship with AT&T -- cited by some as a barrier to further iPhone penetration -- Apple interim chief Tim Cook responded by praising the carrier as 'the best wireless provider in the US,' explaining that its GSM foundation gels with Apple's goal of providing 'one phone for the entire world' while rival CDMA technology 'doesn't really have a life to it.'

LAS VEGAS--The new 4G wireless broadband network that Verizon Wireless plans to launch in 2010 could be rural America's answer to its broadband access prayers. But extending the network to every nook and cranny in the U.S. will likely take years.

Tony Melone, senior vice president and chief technology officer for Verizon Wireless, said during an interview at the CTIA Wireless 2009 tradeshow here Wednesday that the new 4G network that the company is building will blanket the entire continental United States, including the far corners of rural America.

I am writing to tell the world how pleased I am with Wilson Cellular Booster system. My wife and I are in business and depend heavily on our cellular telephones. Unfortunately, our home is located behind a hill and several miles from a cellular antenna site. The result was once we went home we had dead cellular service. We missed important calls and played "telephone tag" endlessly. It was very frustrating for us. We loved our home, but hated being without our cellular phones. We were introduced to the Wilson Cellular Booster system by Bill Eck of Half Moon Bay. Bill provided us with a complete kit, which included the 50 dB SOHO booster, a directional Yagi antenna, an indoor antenna and the miscellaneous wiring necessary to hook it all up. To my surprise the installation was easy and the directions complete. It was up and working in a matter of a few hours. Wow! We now have good cellular service inside our home and on the patio outside. Plus, we can both use our cellular telephones at the same time and without wires. Great technology. Thank you Wilson Electronics for a great product. It really works!
