USA Today Discovers Push-To-Talk
Nothing all that new, but USA Today has a nice, simple roundup article about push-to-talk, admitting that carriers have high hopes for how it will push up ARPUs, but it's still unclear if it will really catch on widely. There's no doubt that many people mind find it useful, but there are still plenty of hurdles in convincing customers of that fact. Of course, the carriers, so far, aren't helping get over most of these hurdles by doing pointless things like bashing each others offerings and insisting that cross-carrier compatibility isn't all that important.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
