The Attack of the Pridefully Ignorant - Shelly Palmer
By: Shelly Palmer (12/30/2011)

I had to take a one-day trip to Boca Raton, FL this week to attend a family event. During my trip, I met several people (of a certain age) who feigned interest in my profession. I was drawn into conversation after conversation where I had to defend the existential necessity of digital literacy. Would it be cliché for me to tell you how many of these individuals had flip phones? Would it be stereotypical to describe the number of doctors, lawyers and retired investors who have their secretaries print out their emails?

Wible's Weekly: 3D Doubts; Mobile Ads Take Off - Janney/MediaEntertainment
By: Tony Wible

DISH's intentions related to wireless are becoming clearer with its deal with regional wireless carrier nTelos to test a 50Mbps fixed wireless broadband service. DISH could use its spectrum along with that from CLWR (if successful in their acquisition bid) to develop a viable broadband platform. This would help DISH to remain competitive with other MVPDs that increasingly offer broadband packages that enable advanced services such as VOD, home monitoring, cloud storage, etc. This is in line with our belief that DISH will try to transition towards IPTV using its wireless infrastructure.
