Verizon Wireless opens up to the mobile developer community (for real)!- Late last month, Verizon Wireless held an open developer conference down here in San Jose. The conference was notable, important, and relevant to you for a number of reasons.

- Mobile Web 2.0 "Dramatic Developments" from AT&T Really not all that dramatic....
- Well, I'm sad to report that the folks over/up/down at AT&T wireless appear to not quite have their act together when it comes to what is the 'next big thing' in wireless. I had really been hoping/anticipating that the webinar they hosted on June 30 entitled "Dramatic Developments in Mobile Web Technology" was going to provide something concrete and actionable for you (and I), alas, that was not to be the case.

Kind of a "sunshine transcoder story"- I guess many of you have been following discussions on various attempts by network operators to transcode desktop web sites and squeeze them on to a mobile device, without respecting the intentions of content owners. The case I'll be talking about is the TeliaSonera case, and their "SurfOpen" service. First time around, the launch caused an uprising among the content owners forcing TeliaSonera to go offline with SurfOpen. Now SurfOpen is launched again with a more reasonable approach.

- AT&T Gateway address updates
- Well our friends at AT&T are up to changes in the network again. Happily they were kind enough to send out a message with a heads up about new network addresses that are coming from devices on their network.

- It's Open if We Tell You It Is
- I'd like to come back to a topic that I touched on a few months ago: open. In case you weren't paying attention to CTIA in San Francisco last month (and I won't fault you if you weren't), you may have missed the clarification that the major operators in the States provided to the definition of an 'open' network. Sitting together on a stage the bigwigs from Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile each found ways to describe why an 'open' network is not really what the end user wants. Given some of what was said, it's a wonder that any of us are ever able to get apps out there at all.

- The mysteries of mobile data plans or It’s all about Page Weight
- So I have to make a confession (seems like I’ve been doing that a lot recently…) For the first time in my life I received a mobile phone bill with data charges on it. What you say? Are you some sort of imposter? Have you not been using mobile data all these years? Well, here’s the thing: I’ve been using it for free (we’ll, it’s all been on the company’s dime that is) so it never really hit me how much it really cost.

- Won't someone please think of the prepaid user?
- A while back Ronan blogged about the stifling effect of data charges on the growth of the mobile Internet. Well since then, 3 launched their X-Series flat-rate data package, and people got excited. This was a great development and a possible catalyst for the widespread penetration of mobile Internet usage. Surely the other operators would have to follow suit with similar competitive data plans.

- Planning Operator Mobile Portal
- Almost every Mobile Operator, who are providing GPRS/Edge/3G etc services have their own mobile portal or they plan to have one as soon as possible. This operator mobile portal contributes a big part in that operator's data service revenue. The user experience of this portal has to be very comfortable for the users. Otherwise the tendency of user visit will be reduced causing the drop in the revenue. Here in this article I will try to focus on some of my thoughts and planning which I have implemented
