CSI: Round Rock – Dell Launches Digital Forensics Service

CSI: Round Rock - Dell Launches Digital Forensics Service

We don’t know if Laurence Fishburne, David Caruso, or Gary Sinise will make guest appearances, but computer maker Dell is planning to roll out a new Dell Digital Forensics Solution, which will offer a data-center and cloud-based approach toward quickly gathering, managing, and analyzing digital evidence in law enforcement investigations and operations. Dell is launching the service with a collection of industry partners including Intel, Symantec, EMC, VEGA, Oracle, and others, and will enable multiple law enforcement analysts to work on the same data sets at the same time without interfering with each other, in contrast to the “white room” approach used by many law enforcement agencies where digital evidence is typically isolated to a single standalone workstation and analyst.

AT&T stores to sell netbooks across U.S.

AT&T stores to sell netbooks across U.S.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Ralph de la Vega, the head of AT&T’s consumer business, said on Tuesday that the U.S. phone company would directly sell netbooks from Dell Inc, Acer Inc and Lenovo Group Ltd starting this summer.

Until now, only AT&T stores in Atlanta and Philadelphia, and consumer electronics retailers RadioShack Corp and Costco, have been selling the netbooks, which come with AT&T mobile data connections.

"We’re taking broadband and really making it mobile," de la Vega said at the Reuters Global Technology Summit in New York.

AT&T Inks $2.35 Bln Deal With Verizon for Rural AllTel Assets

AT&T Inks $2.35 Bln Deal With Verizon for Rural AllTel Assets

Wireless operator AT&T has announced a deal to acquire a large collection of primarily rural wireless licenses and network assets from Verizon Wireless for $2.35 billion in cash. Verizon came by the assets as part of its acquisition of AllTel; to meet regulatory requirements, Verizon has to divest itself of these particular Alltel properties.

The deal covers some 79 service areas, primarily in rural regions, in some 18 U.S. states. The deal will also include some assets from Verizon Wireless itself, as well as the former Rural Cellular Corp. AT&T will also sell some of its Centennial Communications Corp. assets to Verizon Wireless for $240 million.

AT&T to Finally Offer iPhone Tethering Plan

AT&T to Finally Offer iPhone Tethering Plan

If AT&T’s earlier announcement of free Wi-Fi for iPhone users weren’t enough to Apple fans happy (and connected) in more places, the company’s latest announcement just might do the trick. Ending the days of tethering applications that violate AT&T’s terms of service, AT&T will finally release a plan that makes it possible and kosher.

AT&T Mobility president and CEO Ralph De La Vega dropped word of the upcoming plan in a conversation with TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. Though De La Vega confirmed that such a plan was on the way, he was intentionally vague about when, saying only that it would be available “soon.”

AT&T to Embrace Google’s Android

AT&T to Embrace Google

When Google announced its Android mobile phone platform back in November, mobile carriers like Sprint and T-Mobile were members of the Open Handset Alliance from the outset. Now, U.S. carrier AT&T says it will also offer phones based on Google’s Android architecture, after having been assured by Google that the company won’t be locked into only offering Google applications on the devices.

According to numerous reports, at this week’s CTIA wireless conference in Las Vegas, Google assured AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega that AT&T would be able to customize Android devices with any applications they liked.

AT&T Speeds up and Expands 3G Network

AT&T Speeds up and Expands 3G Network

While AT&T’s home broadband customers may still be cringing from Monday’s rate hike, the company’s mobile broadband customers are experiencing the other side of the coin: a surprise expansion in service with no additional cost. AT&T announced on Wednesday that it would grow its 3G network by 80 more cities in 2008, and upgrade all of its towers for even faster speeds.

In total, AT&T’s 3G network will span 350 cities when expansion finishes, which will include all of the top 100 markets in the U.S. The network will also employ HSUPA technology, pushing download speeds  between 600 and 1,400 Kbps, and upload speeds between 500 to 800 Kbps. When the transition to HSUPA is complete, AT&T will be the only U.S. carrier to have totally transitioned to HSPA standards.

AT&T: Our Network Is Already Open

AT&T: Our Network Is Already Open

With the FCC’s auction for the 700 MHz spectrum getting underway (and a media blackout already in effect), Google and more recently Verizon have garnered a considerable amount of public attention on the issue of “open” mobile networks that would permit users to bring any device—and any software application—and use it on any mobile network. Now, AT&T apparently wants some of the attention, with CEO Ralph de la Vega telling USA Today: “You can use any handset on our network you want. We don’t prohibit it, or even police it.” Verizon’s recent overtures regarding Google’s Android platform: customers using unlocked devices and unsupported applications would represent low-maintenance customers for AT&T. If customers have problems with their devices or programs, AT&T’s responsibility stops with making sure the devices can connect to the GSM network: after that, customers will have to look to handset makers or application developers for support, while AT&T continues to collect revenue.

Cingular Sales Begin in RadioShack

Cingular Wireless and consumer electronics specialty retailer RadioShack today announced that over 5,000 of the latter’s stores would immediately begin carrying a full line of Cingular phones and services. This is in addition to 500 or so RadioShack outlets already offering products from the cellular provider.

It provides for Cingular there single largest distribution outlet, while for RadioShack it is an attempt to drive more traffic into their stores in the face of growing competition from online retailers like Amazon and other brick and mortar chains such as Best Buy.
