Subject: T-Mobile Agrees to Drop Home Internet Price Claim
By John Eggerton
Self-regulatory body NAD said TV ad pitch was unsupported
An advertising self-regulatory body has told T-Mobile's home internet
service it should stop making the implied claim in its TV commercial
that consumers can save 50% over the price of cable broadband and
other home internet competitors and T-Mobile has agreed, though says
it does not agree with the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB
National Programs' conclusion the claim is off base.
NAD said it had determined that the “Up to 50%” savings claim is
unsupported because few consumers are paying the $105 a month that
T-Mobile uses as its basis for comparison from the FCC’s benchmark
rates and that the benchmark, rather than an average price but a
public policy metric "set by the FCC to ensure equitable pricing for
rural areas."

Subject: Verizon named “biggest loser” in AT&T promo melee
By Monica Alleven
Verizon shares were down about 2% this morning after the Wall Street
investment firm MoffettNathanson downgraded the stock, saying Verizon
has been the “biggest loser” in AT&T”s steady series of wireless
promotions.
AT&T has been on an aggressive path of promotions for the past two
years now, and over that time, AT&T has reaped the advantages of
subscriber growth, but at the cost of cutting its free cash flow and
dividend coverage forecasts, wrote analyst Craig Moffett in a report
for investors Thursday.

Subject: UK government can push alerts to mobile phones
By Nick Farrell
The UK's national emergency alert system will go live in October, and
will give the government the ability to send a text message to any
mobile phone in area.
Emergency alert systems powered by cell broadcasting technology are
common in many countries, including the USA, Netherlands, Canada,
South Korea, Japan and New Zealand, and have helped save lives during
natural disasters such as earthquakes.
