As an IT manager for a consulting business, 80% of my workforce is on the road 80% of the year. Broadband cards are absolutely critical to our success. We field test all over the nation and offer all three options. Our people have decided on 2 Verizon cards, 6 dozen Sprint cards and nobody has opted for the ATT card.
Our consultants are regularly in NYC, Philly, Houston, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and Dallas.
If it helps anybody, Sprint is weak in New Jersey and parts of the Dallas area. Verizon picks up New Jersey nicely and this is where both of our Verizon cards are primarily deployed. Verizon and ATT are both not superior in Dallas so perhaps something else makes them all less than perfect.
One last thing...as soon as iPhone 2.0 comes out, and sells like hotcakes, the ATT network is going to be overburdened...you watch.
Excellent description.
I work with a group of Hyperion consultants and I must say...these people are some of the most intelligent folks I have ever met. OLAP really pushes the limits of conventional computing and I find it fascinating that the Hyperion software really PEGS the spedometer. BI and BPM are growing so fast its hard to keep up the demand...its really a nifty space to be involved with.
This is a sorta big mistake, but a sorta good thing too.
Big mistake - this tiny company had MS by the b@lls. More specifically, they had high level executives by the b@lls and could have really stuck it to them. If burst would have nailed those execs to the wall, it would have been a great message to other similar execs: "Get your morals in check." Burst never had MS by their b@lls, because Bill could easily buy his way out of much bigger problems than this. [Save your breath]
Good thing - They are licensing this software to MS. How "Microsoftian" of them! I think this move is sweet for Burst and Bill is gunna pay tons for it! This also sets Burst up to license their patent portfolio to others too. Genius.
Legally speaking, burst probably settled on the 60 million just to get their feet back on the ground and because it implies licensing for others. Dropping the case (settling) would have accomplished nothing more than smearing those execs' reputations and getting the same licensing agreement. They got their license agreement which is better than cash.
I actually recommended this to slashdot the other day but had it REJECTED. Interesting. Maybe I write bad?
