AT&T Launching LTE Network Sunday; When Do We Get The Phones?

You are in a Smartphone News Post

Last December, Verizon inaugurated its 4G LTE network. While there was nothing but USB modems to take advantage of LTE at first, three months later we got the HTC Thunderbolt. AT&T's been rushing to catch-up and get into the LTE game, even with its HSPA+ update to help hold it over. Now it's finally time for AT&T's venture into LTE to begin, with the carrier announcing the launch of its network for this coming Sunday.

Though there have been reports of parts of the network going live already, Sunday will mark the official availability of LTE on the carrier. AT&T wanted to get the ball rolling sometime this summer, so it's really been waiting until things were right down to the wire. The first markets to receive LTE coverage are Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio; fifteen more will join them by the end of the year.

Once AT&T has LTE going, what are we going to use on it? Currently, you can pick up an LTE-compatible HTC Jetstream tablet; having any mobile device at all is certainly an improvement over Verizon's launch. What about smartphones, though? We've had a few false-starts, but now it's looking like the HTC Holiday may be the first out of the gate. It's certainly being tested on the carrier's network; the only question now is when it will be released. It could still be a couple months, but at least one AT&T LTE smartphone will surely be here by year's end.

Nginx creator launching company based on popular web server

Nginx creator Igor Sysoev is planning a company based around the wildly popular open-source web server.

Sysoev announced the decision on the Ngnix blog Monday morning, writing that the commercial entity’s “primary goals are improving support and communication for our users, streamlining the development process, revamping the documentation, integrating and speeding up pending bugfixes and patches, introducing long-requested functionality and more.” Sysoev had been handling much of the development and support for Nginx as a side project since he created the project in 2002, but now will commit to the project full-time.

As of May, Nginx had 7.35 percent of the global web server market — or 23,463,669 hostnames — according to research from Netcraft, so there’s likely plenty of appetite for more consistent support and releases. It also claimed 6.79 percent of the top million web sites as users. Apache is still the dominant web server worldwide, with Microsoft IIS and Google Web Server (thanks primarily to Blogger sites) also maintaining large market shares.

Andrey Alexeev, part of the initial management team for the new company, told me via e-mail that the company is still in its very-early stages and has not officially launched. He also noted the company is entirely self-funded at this point.

We see this type of move fairly often, where the creator of an open-source project either launches a company based upon it or joins a company that has invested heavily in it. Recent examples would be Ruby creator Yukihiro Matsumoto joining Heroku, Piston Cloud Computing launching an OpenStack-based company and Damien Katz forming CouchOne (now part of Couchbase).
