...tested the service on Sprint's hot new MM-A940 from Samsung, and the technology worked as billed. Provided you're in one of the 75 markets nationwide where Sprint's Power Vision high-speed network is up and running, you should have no trouble downloading songs...
...solution is to add a $15 to $25 monthly unlimited Power Vision data package to your voice plan. There are other good reasons to get a Power Vision plan, such as streaming Sirius radio and Cartoon Network video clips on demand, but this means you have to spend a lot of money every month just to access to the music store.

...upping the ante, as the Daily Show correspondent becomes the first celebrity to deliver the forecast on the Weather Channel this week.

Theft of mobile data eats into carriers' profitability too. This year network operators worldwide stand to lose more than $5.6 billion, or 18% of their total revenue, Qpass reports. The broader problem stems from the fact that about half of the telecom industry relies on outdated billing systems that were fine when charging by the minute was standard. Today back-end operations must handle a variety of complex charges, often from third parties, ranging from e-mail services to games, screensavers and other data transactions. As more consumers buy Internet-ready smart phones, and media giants like MTV, Disney, Time...
