The 4G revolution

The Apple iPhone 5 went on sale with much fan fair. The best thing that came with it is the high speed 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution). LTE will allow smartphones to stream high-definition movies; enable video chat, and store files and photos on clouds. The 4G can handle twice the size of 3G networks, smartphones, tablets, video streaming, cloud computing services and host of other functions. It is estimated that smartphones alone will increase mobile data by eightfold by 2016.

The Apple iPhone 5 expect to sell 50 million units by the end of the year. Major providers of 4G, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless are prepared to handle the glut of demand for service from smartphones and other devices such as iPads. The industry has spent over $6.75 billion securing spectrum rights to provide 4G services to its customers.

The 4G carriers need to navigate carefully. If they charge too much for the service, customers may stay with current 3G services or look for free Wi-Fi available at many coffee shops. If the price is too low, it may overwhelm the system. Some are already offering shared data options as a protection against accidental overage charges. Sprint and T-Mobile offer unlimited data plans.

What is going on with Ultrabooks?

The appeal of desktop computer is in the history and computer makers are working hard to fight the popularity of the iPad. PC makers are increasingly improving ultrabooks, a thinner laptop to gain back the market share as well as to combat Apple’s sleek MacBook Pro. They are light weight, weighting only 2.87 pounds on average; has a longer battery life averaging around seven plus hours (five minimum); storage capacity has been increased tremendously; 18 to 21 mm thick; wake up from sleep mode within seven seconds; and has much faster processors like Intel 1.7 GHz.

Ultrabooks came into the market in late 2011 and accounted for about five percent of all laptops sold. Ultrabooks generally market between $650 and $1,600. A much lower price compared to Apple’s MacBook Air. Ultrabooks sales are improving much slower than anticipated due to the relentless competition from tablets and smartphones and the dull global economy. The price point of ultrabooks is not helping either. Twenty five percent of the manufacturing cost goes to chips, especially Intel’s Ultraprocessor chips. One other contributing factor is much anticipated launch of Microsoft’s Windows 8. People are holding back purchases of computers of any kind until the release of Widows 8.

The Many Hats of Ted Dhanik, Co-founder of engage: BDR

As co-founder of an online display, video, and mobile advertising network, it’s safe to assume that Ted Dhanik has a lot on his plate. Along with fellow founder and COO Kurtis Rintala, Dhanik launched engage: BDR in 2007, and has since then been serving as the firm’s President and Executive Vice President of Business Development. And just what does this role entail? Let’s just say he wears more than one hat on any given day at the office.

Under his leadership, Dhanik is responsible for managing several departments; He oversees the strategic marketing department, an area he’s particularly gifted in; he manages the sales and business development side of the firm, another specialty of this multi-talented entrepreneur; and he’s got the last word on client relationship management and content acquisition – that’s four hats! So, how did he acquire his many talents? Every story has a beginning.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing from California State University at Hayward, Dhanik began his career in sales. After only one year, he became director of business development at Xoriant Corporation, and was quickly recruited by LowerMyBills.com, where he became manager of business development. While there, he successfully built and launched the firm’s home equity product.

At this point in his career, Dhanik’s portfolio was so impressive that he landed a job as VP of Fun and Strategic Marketing at MySpace.com — before it was big.
