In this episode of tHAWT Michel and I started things off with a discussion of the use of search engines in spreading malware. We then discussed the FCC and cable industry tussle. Realizing that we had several wireless issues to discuss, we invited our wireless expert Paul (our CEO) to join the discussion. We knew he could shed some light on the Sprint buyout rumors, Verizon wireless becoming open, and planning for LTE, which would bring Verizon into line with the rest of Vodaphone. Michel couldn’t help bringing up the demise of the popularity dialer, and then there was that question of Qwest.

Here are some of the links that got us talking.
