Declaring that parent company Deutsche Telekom has a plan to move T-Mobile USA forward as it transitions to LTE, Deutsche Telekom CFO Timotheus Höttges said the carrier is "not a problem" for the company. Speaking at the 40th Annual J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, he said that in the aftermath of AT&T's (NYSE:T) failed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile, DT took the $6 billion breakup fee, including AWS spectrum in 128 markets, and developed a path forward. "There's always a perception that if these guys are selling an asset it must be a problem child," Höttges said. "It is not a problem for us. And that is due to the fact that we have a clear path toward LTE. It is definitely a big opportunity in the marketplace."

He said at the end of the network upgrade, T-Mobile will have 2X10 MHz channels for LTE in almost every ...

Mobile game developers are competing in one of the most difficult of all mobile application markets. Although the mobile game market is full of promise, it does not offer financial success to the vast majority of developers. The market is also entering a period of change, which will intensify competition. Mobile games are played by 101 million people in the United States, according to a recent study by Newzoo. Worldwide, the revenues are substantial. Juniper Research recently projected that the global mobile games market will be worth $18.3 billion by 2016. While some companies such as Rovio and Zynga have struck it rich, that type of success is the exception rather than the rule, as most game developers struggle to make meaningful revenues.
