TS2RWirelessNewsCTIA2012

While we're waiting for the figures from CTIA Wireless where they recapped and vamp their attendees and achievements we have rounded-up all the announcements and new devices demoed at the show. We find it very interesting that a survey taken at the event showed that many antendees were not not paying carriers for Wi-Fi hotspots/tethering but use "illegal" third party apps, instead.
