Researchers at Rice University have invented a way for mobile carriers to double the capacity of wireless networks without adding a single tower or base station.

Apps have to be engaging, interactive, and provide some value that will encourage users to throw at least a few dollars toward the developers. Now there are calls for a new consideration: minimize bandwidth demands.

Now that build out of the LTE infrastructure is well underway, service providers are looking for ways to boost revenue through increased consumer adoption. And they are being clever about it.

The LTE rollout is only just getting started and already some folks want more. In particular, universities and surrounding communities are looking to get broadband going into the Gigabit region.
