Monday, January 10, 2011, 12:19 PM RadioShack (RSH) is -5.7% on expectation its finances will suffer if Verizon (VZ) and Apple (AAPL) formally announce their iPhone union. RadioShack depends heavily on mobile phone sales, isn't a Verizon partner, and just lost its kiosks in Sam’s Club (WMT), to boot. This is likely to be a "tough week" for RSH, notes Goldman Sachs.

Monday, January 10, 2011, 11:37 AM Despite AT&T's (T) claims, Verizon (VZ) has been building up its network to handle iPhone- (AAPL) like devices handily, say sources. Unlike AT&T, Verizon feels its network is robust enough to offer unlimited data-usage plans if it does start selling iPhones this month, as rumored. iPhone traffic has hurt AT&T's service levels.

Monday, January 10, 2011, 10:45 AM The rumored deal between Verizon (VZ +0.4%) and Apple (AAPL +1%) isn't quite that of equals, argues Kaufman Bros. Given softening Android (GOOG -0.8%) demand over the past 2 quarters, Verizon has been bleeding share to AT&T (T -1.4%). Verizon would probably pay a premium to preserve iPhone exclusivity. Comment! [Tech]
Monday, January 10, 2011, 9:52 AM Even before Verizon (VZ +0.3%) unveils its rumored iPhone (AAPL +1.3%), AT&T (T -1.5%) is already launching an assault on it. AT&T says Verizon's CDMA technology is slower than AT&T's GSM network. "The iPhone is built for speed, but that's not what you get with a CDMA phone," says an AT&T spokesman. 1 Comment [Tech]
Monday, January 10, 2011, 8:23 AM Verizon Wireless' (VZ, VOD) rumored unveiling of its iPhone (AAPL) in a New York event on Tuesday may mark an industry sea change, say analysts. This move would result in a surge of iPhone sales, and most likely let Apple fend off challenger Google (GOOG) and its partners. Premarket, VZ +1.2%, VOD -0.4%, GOOG -0.1%. Comment! [Tech]
Friday, January 7, 2011, 4:43 PM Verizon (VZ) suspiciously issues invites to a press conference for next Tuesday. It announced plenty at CES - does it now want to talk iPhone (AAPL)? Verizon is +0.3% and Apple +0.2% AH. 1 Comment [Tech]
Friday, January 7, 2011, 8:26 AM Given the explosion of wireless web and data users, U.S. airwaves face overload and expanding congestion, and "consumer frustration will grow with it," warns FCC chair Julius Genachowski. The FCC and the Commerce Department are trying to locate unused spectrum, and Genachowski favors incentive auctions. Comment! [Tech]
Friday, January 7, 2011, 8:11 AM Verizon Wireless' (VZ, VOD) temporary promotion charging $10 for limited data service resulted in a surge in subscribers. Now that that offer is due to expire in January, the company is "considering every option," including making the plan permanent. Premarket, Verizon is -0.4% and Vodafone is -1.6%. Comment! [Tech]
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 2:29 PM Dell (DELL +2.5%) jumps into the tablet PC melee at CES, announcing its new Streak 7 device, which will run on T-Mobile's (DTEGY.PK) 4G network. The Streak is aimed at families who want multi-media content. Under the covers is the next-gen dual-core Tegra 2 (NVDA) chip and the Android OS (GOOG). (PR) Comment! [Tech]
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 11:34 AM A telecom selloff marked the past hour's stock dip, with declines in AT&T (T -2%), Verizon (VZ -2.4%), MetroPCS (-6.9%) and Leap Wireless (LEAP -1.5%).

Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 2:26 PM Wells Fargo (WFC +0.6%) will test a new mobile phone payments service, 3 years after a prior trial failed. The new experiment will involve 200 employees using near-field communications technology. The technology may handle as much as $22B in payment transactions by 2015, up from almost zero in 2010. Comment! [Tech]
Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 11:49 AM The market overall doesn't like Apple (AAPL), given the momentum of the Android OS (GOOG), said Oppenheimer. Street respect, as well as revenues, will increase if, as expected, Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) offers the iPhone in 2011. Access to Verizon's network might even mean Apple's "willing to make some sacrifices," including caving on price. Comment! [Tech]
Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 11:29 AM Google (GOOG -0.4%) may leverage its Android footprint to create a mobile payment and advertising service, say sources. It's no surprise Google is ready to enter the near field communications race. In November, a consortium of companies, including Verizon (VZ +1.%), formed the Isis mobile payments venture. Comment!

Monday, January 3, 2011, 12:29 PM Sprint (S +4.3%) opts not to exercise its right to buy debt from struggling Clearwire (CLWR +0.7%), which is raising money to build out its 4G network. Last month, Clearwire announced a $1.1B-plus debt sale, and Sprint had till Jan. 2 to join. With the recent loss of its chairman, this leaves Clearwire's future even murkier. Comment! [Tech]
Friday, December 31, 2010, 11:42 AM The explosion of tablet PCs will boost ARM Holdings (ARMH +1.9%), which designs many of the device's chips. And besides smartphones, ARM-based low-power chips are in automotive entertainment systems, next-gen TVs, and power microcontrollers. No wonder ARM's shares climbed over 135% since the start of 2010. 1 Comment [Tech]
Friday, December 31, 2010, 10:51 AM Sprint (S +0.9%) will sink $200M into cash-strapped Clearwire (CLWR -1.3%), while reducing its 54% stake in the company to 50%, predicts Kaufman Bros. In a potentially ominous sign, Clearwire's chairman Craig McCaw stepped down today. Kaufman maintains a Hold on Clearwire. 1 Comment [Tech]
