BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon today announced plans to develop and deploy its fourth generation mobile broadband network using LTE – Long Term Evolution – the technology developed within the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards organization. The selection of LTE provides Verizon and Vodafone – joint owners of U.S.-based Verizon Wireless – with a unique opportunity to adopt a common access platform with true global scale and compatibility with existing technologies of both companies.
Verizon and Vodafone have a coordinated trial plan for LTE that begins in 2008. Trial suppliers include Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia-Siemens, and Nortel. These suppliers, along with others in the world community, have contributed significantly towards development of the standards in 3GPP. Discussions with device suppliers have expanded beyond traditional suppliers such as LG, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson, as consumer electronics companies anticipate embedded wireless functionality in their future products.

Test from 8820 Blackberry
Testing out posting from my Blackberry. Not sure everything will be spelled correctly so please forgive if it sounds really stupid.
Sitting in a Panera Beard using their Free WiFi in Mufreesboro on my way back home from Chattanooga. The twins have a basketball game this afternoon and I am wasting time til their game. Instead of driving all the way back to Nashville thought it would be better to get some work done here at the Panera Beard.
