By now, you’ve gotten plenty of the optimistic hype. Yesterday I had the chance to peruse the central hall of the Consumer Electronics Show, and I’ll tell you, the term “same as it ever was” certainly…
While we were at the International Consumer Electronics Show, we took the time to connect with several of our vendors and manufacturers. You’ve probably already read about what we learned from our friends at DISH and weBoost, but we…
Get ready for the biggest news in cellular this year! Wilson Electronics, a pioneer in cellular technology, has completely rebranded itself and launched a ton of new products. The company is now called weBoost and they’re launching all-new boosters to…
The answers you’ve been waiting for. Out blog team spent close to an hour at the DISH and Sling booths (they were side by side) and we’ve got all the details you want to know! Sling…

This will be the year cell boosters go mainstream. It’s my biggest and least risky prediction so far. The big problem with cell boosters in 2014 was that we didn’t have inventory… because of some hangups…
