Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless posted a privacy statement about its "business and marketing reports" that makes it clear it tracks everything wireless customers do online, matches that activity with profile data it buys from others and shares even the raw data with other companies.

China Mobile reports earnings for the first half of 2011 that beats estimates.

At the CTIA Wireless trade show in Orlando, Fla., Sprint Nextel chief executive Dan Hesse said AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile USA would stifle innovation in the U.S. wireless market.

Ever since Verizon sent out invitations on Friday for a special event in New York City on Tuesday, the Internet has been buzzing with anticipation that the top wireless carrier in the U.S. will announce it soon will begin selling Apple's iPhone.

AT&T on Tuesday announced plans to expand its Wi-Fi public hotzones to new locations in major U.S. markets.

No doubt, AT&T is benefiting from the mobile revolution and its relationship with Apple. But while the mobile revolution will continue, AT&T's relationship with Apple is changing, and that will affect the carrier's bottom line in coming quarters.

When both sides benefit from a deal, the deal is going to happen. All that have to be worked out are the details. tweetmeme_source = 'ITworld';
