Biz, Tech: T-Mobile’s parent might buy Sprint. B … but … the unlimited plan!

  • The Now Network might be a thing of the past. Sprint’s shares surged this morning on word that Deutsche Telekom AG was looking into buying the third-largest wireless company. Now, T-Mobile isn’t a bad company, so it’s not like, we don’t know, AT&T buying them, but Sprint JUST announced this killer unlimited plan. We could see it going away under T-Mobile. source

Tech: Daily poll: Facebook, Twitter, and your social-networking rights

  • Biz Stone says your tweets are yours. Yesterday, the Twitter CEO updated the site’s blog and told users that while Twitter can distribute as it would like, “they are your tweets and they belong to you.” As Facebook has faced lots of criticism from users about privacy issues (and MySpace has a rep as a place for sex predators), social networking often runs into issues with the rights of its users. So, that’s what this poll is about. Have an opinion? Vote. source
