T-Mobile doubles 4G network speed to 42Mbps in 55 markets

T-Mobile announced that it is doubling the speed of its 4G network to 42 megabits per second — more than the speed of wired broadband services — in 55 markets.
The company is also launching a new product, the Rocket 3.0 universal serial bus data stick, which can be used to access the data network via a laptop computer. The Rocket stick costs $99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) with a data contract. The new cities with the faster 4G service are:

Albany, GA, Athens, GA, Auburn, AL, Augusta, GA, Austin, TX, Bentonville, AK, Boulder, CO, Chattanooga, TN, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL, Denver, CO, Detroit, MI, Durham, NC, El Paso, TX, Fort Collins, CO, Gainesville, FL, Gainesville, GA, Greeley, CO, Honolulu, HI, Houston, TX, Jacksonville, FL, Long Island, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Long Beach, CA, Santa Ana, CA, Macon, GA, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Miami, FL, New Orleans, LA, Oklahoma City, OK, Olympia, WA, Omaha, NE, Oxnard, CA, Thousand Oaks, CA, Ventura, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, Ponce, Puerto Rico, Portland, OR, Salinas, CA, San Francisco, CA, Oakland, CA, Fremont, CA, San Jose, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, Santa Clara, CA, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Santa Cruz, CA, Watsonville, CA, Santa Rosa, CA, Petaluma, CA, Savannah, CA, Seattle, WA, Spokane, WA, Tampa, FL, Tulsa, OK, Valdosta, GA, Vellejo, CA, Fairfield, CA, Warner Robins, GA, and Wichita, KS.
The Rocket 3.0 USB data stick is made by ZTE and goes on sale on May 25. T-Mobile says more than 150 million people will be covered in the 4G network. Verizon’s LTE 4G network has theoretical download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second. It’s much easier for T-Mobile to expand its 4G network since it isn’t relying on newfangled LTE or WiMax 4G technology. Its HSPA+ is more like a suped-up 3G technology. Monthly data plans start at $29.99 a month. You can also buy a Rocket 3.0 without an annual contract for $199.99.

Kurumsal Dijitalleşme mi yoksa Dijital Kurumsallaşma mı? (+Anket)

Eğer benim gibi siz de işinizin önemli bir bölümünü pazar araştırması yaparak geçiriyorsanız muhtemelen siz de en az benim kadar Türkiye'de pazar verisine ulaşmanın ne kadar zor olduğu hakkında defalarca şikayet etmiş ve sonunda yaratıcı yollar keşfetme yolunu tercih etmişsinizdir. Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
