Today's Story Highlights

The Next Big Split in Wireless
The wireless and wire line telecom industry completely reinvents itself
every few years. Right now, everything seems to be changing. Seven years
ago, the handset leaders were BlackBerry and Nokia. Today, those
companies are struggling to stay on the charts. Today's handset leaders
are Apple and Samsung for hardware, and Apple and Google for operating
systems.

making bands for the new smartwatch. "A well-designed band will securely
attach to Apple Watch while not interfering with its operation," the
guidelines explain. To be compatible with the watch's heart rate

clear how much substance there is to the speculation. The buzz began
