Are AT&T’s iPhone Problems Due to Network Configuration Errors?

In a post entitled Has AT&T Wireless data congestion been self-inflicted? the blog Communications explores whether the iPhone-on-AT&T problems we keep hearing about are the result of misconfigured buffers in AT&T’s mobile core network leading to congestion collapse.

It appears AT&T Wireless has configured their RNC buffers so there is no packet loss, i.e. with buffers capable of holding more than ten seconds of data. Zero packet loss may sound impressive to a telephone guy, but it causes TCP congestion collapse and thus doesn’t work for the mobile Internet!

The article is way over our heads, but give it a read and let us know your take-away. There’s obviously something going on that results in iPhone users on AT&T, especially in New York and San Francisco having connection issues, dropped calls, etc. Could this, at least in part, explain it?

iTunes Connect “Closed for the Holidays”

As previously announced, the iTunes Connect portal used by developers to upload and manage their App Store apps, is now “closed for the holidays”, and with typical Apple graphical flair it would seem.

Whether that 40+ person review team is getting a break from those 10,000 apps a week, or Eddy Cue is leading an overhaul, we wish everyone at Apple’s iTunes a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous holiday season.

Review: More iPhone time-tracking apps

In our round-up of time trackers, Ben Boychuk finds that pro users should give On The Clock a look, while anyone who needs a simple, user-friendly task timer would do well to check out ClockedIn. The similarly named ClockIn has a few too many quirks, thought it might find favor with independent contractors who have a fairly small pool of clients and jobs with a consistent rate scale.
