AT&T was reportedly urging iPhone customers to cut back on internet and network usage. Apple clearly doesn’t like this giving a screw you by unlocking Ustream and streaming applications on the iTunes App Store, leaving people to flood AT&T’s network. Now reports are coming in at how much of AT&T’s network the iPhone uses. The iPhone’s use double what the Blackberry’s are using. The iPhone uses 40% of AT&T’s network, while, on being 3 percent of the phones using the network. It’s not surprising they aren’t happy. I wonder what’s to come from this? Apple can’t easily switch networks because they’re not many GSM networks in America. I assume AT&T just has put up with it.
The internet fell soft and tense earlier today when Apple posted the above message on their Store page. Following the message we were greeted by Aperture 3 shortly after.

Netgear and Ericsson have partnered to produce a 3G-recieving router. The Netgear MBRN3300E will allow you to access 3G from just about everywhere. The MBRN3300E includes 802.11n WiFi. The 3G modem is provided by Ericsson to provide you with both WiFi and 3G. It includes a built in firewall. And come with a car charger, and other accessories to help you on your travels. They will be available immediately. I hope this will inspire other router makes to look at doing this sort of hybrid as well. You can view the press release here and Netgears info and specs here.
