AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon team up on mobile payment network
Three of the largest US wireless carriers announced on Wednesday they are teaming up to build a national network to make payments by mobile phones. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless said they had formed a joint venture called "Isis" that aims to "fundamentally transform how people shop, pay and save."

Orange and T-Mobile 4G network will have a new name
As if 4G wasn't complicated enough, Orange and T-Mobile is planning to create a new brand name for its next-generation data network coming later this year. Orange and T-Mobile's parent company Everything Everywhere denies it will merge Orange and T-Mobile, telling us that instead "we are planning to launch a new brand in the UK later this year. This new brand will sit alongside our existing brands Orange and T-Mobile". It's bad enough we've had to get used to the awful name Everything Everywhere without throwing yet another brand name into the pot. Whatever it's called, the 4G network will use portion's of Orange and T-Mobile's existing airwaves for LTE, which will speed up data to your phone and reach a wider audience than the current 3G network. Vodafone, O2 and Three are up in arms about the plan, with Vodafone telling us Ofcom's decision is "shocking" and "bizarre".
