Dear friends of Wireless Messaging, Greetings to everyone. I have been busy moving my home and office to another city. I am now in Springfield, Illinois.

USA Mobility Reports Third Quarter Operating Results

Continued Improvement in Subscriber Trends;
Cost Reductions Outpace Expectations

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging services, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. Reported revenue for the quarter was $119.6 million and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and accretion) totaled $33.3 million. Third quarter operating income was $14.9 million, while net income was $8.7 million, or $0.31 per share.

Key results in the third quarter included:

• Net unit loss slowed to 172,000 from 203,000 in the second quarter and 252,000 in the first quarter of 2006. Total units in service at September 30, 2006 were 4,259,000, compared to 4,431,000 at June 30, 2006.
• The annual rate of subscriber loss improved to 16.7 percent from 17.2 percent in the second quarter and 17.6 percent in the first quarter of 2006.
• The quarterly rate of subscriber erosion improved to 3.9 percent in the quarter, compared to 4.4 percent in the second quarter and 5.2 percent in the first quarter of 2006.
• Average revenue per unit ("ARPU") was $8.60 in the quarter, compared to $8.74 in the second quarter and $8.80 in the first quarter of 2006, reflecting a continuing trend toward larger accounts that benefit from volume pricing.
• Revenue declined $7.7 million or 6.0 percent during the third quarter, compared to $7.7 million or 5.7 percent in the second quarter, and $8.5 million or 5.9 percent in the first quarter.
• Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion, were $86.3 million in the third quarter, a reduction of $3.3 million, or 3.7 percent, from $89.6 million in second quarter. Quarterly operating expenses have declined by $24.1 million, or 21.8 percent, compared to third quarter 2005.
• As a percentage of revenue, EBITDA was 27.8 percent in the third quarter, compared to 27.4 percent in the third quarter of 2005, and 29.6 percent in second quarter 2006.
• Capital expenses were $5.2 million, compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter.
• The Company's cash balance at September 30, 2006 was $58.7 million.

"Third quarter operating results compared favorably to our forecast and represent another solid quarter of progress for the Company," said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. "The annual rate of net subscriber losses continued to improve as we increased our sales and service focus on our core subscriber segments, including healthcare, government services and large business enterprises. Our net subscriber loss rate improved as gross placements rose for the second consecutive quarter. In addition, we launched a number of important marketing initiatives during the quarter to promote the Company as a single source for wireless solutions. Among them, we unveiled an enhanced user-friendly web site that provides existing and potential customers with a broad range of information and tools to help them identify and meet their wireless communications needs."

Kelly added, "As we approach the two-year anniversary of the Metrocall Arch merger, which created USA Mobility, we look back at both our accomplishments and our challenges. We have achieved all of our integration objectives ahead of time and we have re-focused our sales and marketing efforts around our core subscriber segments. We also have returned significant capital to our shareholders after having paid off all our bank debt incurred at the time of the merger."

"However, we continue to be challenged with a higher than anticipated rate of gross subscriber losses, particularly in our direct customer base. In fact the gross rate of direct subscriber erosion actually increased from 6.6 percent in third quarter 2005 to 7.0 percent in third quarter 2006. Our current outlook for the future is more optimistic on our ability to place gross additions to our subscriber base in our core segments than it was at the one-year anniversary of our merger a year ago. Our outlook in terms of our ability to lower our operating costs while increasing sales productivity has also improved. However, our outlook for the rate of gross subscriber churn forecasts a higher level of subscriber attrition than we assumed at the merger and even one year ago. The actual future rate of gross cancellations will be the single most critical determinant to long-term value of our paging business."

The Company paid a cash distribution to shareholders in July of $3.00 per share, or approximately $82 million. The Company also declared its first regular quarterly dividend of $0.65 on November 1, payable on December 7 to shareholders of record on November 16. "The Board's decision to implement recurring cash distributions reflects our confidence that we can continue to generate substantial cash flow going forward," Kelly said. "These actions are also consistent with our stated cash flow generation strategy and goal of returning cash to shareholders."

Thomas L. Schilling, chief financial officer, said the Company continued to aggressively reduce costs during the quarter. "We are extremely pleased with the continued cost reduction we've been able to achieve. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) decreased 3.7 percent in the third quarter and were 21.8 percent lower than they were a year ago, outpacing the year-over-year decline in revenue of 21.3 percent. Our cost reductions in third quarter exceeded our expectation, and we now expect to out perform our operating expense guidance." Schilling added: "We are maintaining our revenue and capital expense guidance of $495 million to $500 million and $20 million to $22 million, respectively. However, we now expect operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion, for 2006 to be $354 million to $356 million, well below our previous guidance of $363 million to $368 million."

Helio Gets The Drift

By Sue Marek
November 9, 2006

SK-Earthlink mobile virtual network operator Helio has added a third device to its portfolio, one that incorporates location-based services (LBS). The Samsung slider phone, which uses the moniker the Drift, is custom-built for Helio and accommodates two new LBS-based services — Google Maps and Buddy Beacon.

The Drift, which retails for $225, comes in two colors — gunmetal black and frost white. The device has a 2.12-inch high-resolution QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth and a 2.0 megapixel camera. It also supports exclusive Helio services such as MySpace Mobile and Helio On Top.

According to spokesman Rick Heineman, Helio is the first service provider to offer GPS-enabled Google Maps for mobile. Using the GPS-functionality on the phone, the user will automatically be able to find their current location and use those coordinates to figure out things such as directions and real-time traffic information. In addition, the GPS functionality is incorporated into local search information. The Google Maps service is not exclusive to Helio but the MVNO is the first to commercially offer it in the U.S. "We are excited to be the first to take advantage of this service and activate it," Heineman says.

Buddy Beacon is another GPS service enabled by the Drift. This service, which was developed by Helio and is exclusive to the MVNO, lets Helio members locate their friends and let their location be known. If a user switches on their Buddy Beacon functionality, their location is broadcast to friends on their Buddy List. Members can have up to 25 Buddies on their list. If a member doesn't wish to broadcast their location, they can simply turn off the Buddy Beacon functionality. To notify friends on the buddy list to turn on their Buddy Beacon, Helio users can send them an SMS telling them to activate the service. "The control is in the users' hands," Heineman says.

Although both the GPS-enabled Google Maps and the Buddy Beacon are currently only available with the Drift handset, Heineman says that Helio plans to offer these services on all handsets going forward. And he expects more GPS type services to be introduced.

Both Buddy Beacon and GPS-enabled Google Maps are included in the price for Helio all-inclusive memberships, there is no extra charge for these services.

NTP takes aim at Palm

Posted November 9th, 2006 at 7:45 PM by Doug Berger

Remember when NTP sued the crap out of Blackberry for patent infringement? Well now that they’re done with BB, they’ve moved onto next on their hit-list, Palm. According to the Associated Press, “The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, alleges that Palm’s products, services, systems and processes have improperly used NTP’s wireless e-mail technology.”

Back in March, NTP successfully sued Research In Motion, recovering $612.5 million in “damages.” I put that in quotes because NTP is a patent holding company, meaning they probably have no intentions of ever making Palm products. Such a suit on Palm could mean the end for them seeing as their market capitalization is only twice that amount at $1.55 billion.

Isn't it ridiculous that NTP can wait such a long time to protect their patents and get away with it? Both Palm and RIM have been “infringing” these patents for years, but they kept hush-hush until they could really cause some damage. This whole fiasco is really exploiting some huge flaws in the current U.S. patenting system. Can you work on that USPTO?

Cyren Call rejected by FCC

Tuesday, 7 November 2006

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rejected a proposal from the Cyren Call group to construct a nationwide emergency wireless network. The decision comes just days after the proposals were opened for public consultation. RCR Wireless News reports that the FCC claims that the plan is contrary to auction law, but Cyren Call’s chairman Morgan O’Brien says he will continue trying to get approval for the network, since the US Congress will have the final say on how the emergency spectrum band is used. Cyren Call wants to use spectrum in the 700MHz band to provide a national wireless system for use by emergency and public safety organisations.

Web Access in Cars Hits the Road

By Chris Woodyard
USA Today
11/05/06 4:00 AM PT

Automotive PCs will connect through regular cellular phone signals. Makers expect the in-car systems to eventually move to WiMax — high-powered WiFi that blankets broadband access across cities — over the next few years.

Free Whitepaper: On Demand Security Audits and Vulnerability Management -- A Proactive Approach to Network Security. This white paper explains the value of the various approaches to network security. It focuses on the unique role of vulnerability management, and automated security audits in particular.

The personal computer has finally gone to driving school

Three decades after they began appearing on desktops, PCs are about to start showing up in vehicles. They will let people check e-mail , avoid traffic jams or make restaurant reservations via the Web while on the job or at play.

The idea could prove especially popular among younger drivers. A September survey found that 14 percent of prospective buyers under 30 want in-car e-mail and Web access, more than double the number who said they wanted it in 2004, says CNW Marketing Research.

Changing Times

"We're going to see a lot of explosive changes," predicts Robert Wray, CEO of StreetDeck, a maker of mobile commuting software.

Automotive PCs will connect through regular cellular phone signals. Makers expect the in-car systems to eventually move to WiMax — high-powered WiFi that blankets broadband access across cities -- over the next few years.

Companies putting PCs on wheels are:

• Ford Motor (NYSE: F) . F-Series pickups can now be equipped with FordLink, which went on sale in September, as a US$2,999 option. The PC is aimed at contractors who want to order building materials or send e-mail from the cab.

A rugged PC fits into a cradle in front of the dash. The PC, which runs Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) XP software, can play Internet radio and MP3 music files.

• KVH Industries. The TracNet 100 system, introduced in September, displays Web pages on a vehicle's navigation and video screens and creates a wireless connection in the car. The cost is about $2,000 for the hardware and $79 monthly for the connection.

Web access in vehicles "is going to be as common as cell phones," predicts Ian Palmer, executive vice president of KVH.

• Microsoft and Azentek. The software giant, working with hardware maker Azentek, will offer consumers a choice of two small PCs next year.

One is a small portable, a little bigger than a Cracker Jack box, that can be carried around and temporarily popped into the dash where the stereo is located. The other, a more powerful model, is installed in the dash. Prices for both will be upward of $2,000.

Drivers will need to exercise safety. They won't be allowed to view their e-mail and other distracting functions unless the car is stopped. But that problem is being solved as voice-command systems become more widespread.

For instance, Canadian firm Intelligent Mechatronic Systems next year will offer its iLane cradle for personal digital assistants. The cradle uses a synthesized voice to read arriving e-mail, calendar reminders and text messages.

FCC sides with Continental in Logan WiFi dispute

November 7, 2006

As the communication world turns: In a decision which may well have wide-ranging repercussions for hot spots, hot zones and other efforts to offer public Internet access, the FCC has thrown its regulatory weight behind Continental Airlines in the airline's battle with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). The airline wants to install WiFi service in its passenger lounges at Logan International, but Massport insists this would endanger emergency communication at the airport.

The FCC ruled late last week that Massport's attempt to block other organizations from offering wireless Internet service violated FCC rules which allow businesses and consumers to install WiFi antennas without landlord approval. "Today's decision ensures that the WiFi bands remain free and open to travelers, who can make productive use of their time while waiting to catch their next flight in an airport," FCC commissioner Michael Copps said. "[Travelers] will be able to choose from among multiple providers, including members-only airport lounges as well as coffee shops or businesses that may choose to attract customers by offering WiFi service at lower prices than the airport authority offers."

The FCC ruling may end a bitter, two-year battle. In June 2004 Logan began to offer a $7.95 a day WiFi service at the airport. The service is free to travelers whose Internet provider has a roaming agreement with Advanced Wireless Group, the New York company operating the service. In July 2004 Continental installed its own free WiFi system in its President's Club frequent-flyer lounge at Logan. It took Massport a few months of haggling with Continental, but in summer 2005 the airport authorities ordered Continental to shut down its system, arguing they were doing so for public safety reasons. Specifically, Massport said that Continental's--and other airlines'--WiFi would interfere, and even jam, WiFi-based communication among emergency crews during an emergency at the airport. The FCC was un-persuaded by Massport's arguments, saying that the agency's WiFi safety exception applied to potential dangers to the public's physical safety and health, not interference with other radio device users.

Note that Continental defied Massport's orders and continued to offer its WiFi service to passengers. American Airlines, however, stopped its T-Mobile WiFi service, and Delta had decided to scrap plans to offer WiFi in its lounges.

EMERGENCY AUTOMATION & NOTIFICATION • FIREHOUSES • SCHOOLS • PUBLIC FACILITIES • GOVERNMENT FACILITIES • EMERGENCY ROOMS • WHAT DO FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES, WISPS, HAVE IN COMMON? THEY ALL USE NIGHTHAWK. Nighthawk Systems Inc. manufactures low cost and reliable remote control products for fire house alerting, volunteer alerting, activation of warning signs and sirens, and a number of applications for public safety.  The Company manufactures the EA1 and the FAS-8 which have been designed specifically for these applications.  Both products are paging based and will work with any public or private paging network.  They are available in all VHF, UHF, and 900 MHz paging frequencies.  The products can serve as the primary notification system or an excellent, low-cost backup to existing systems. Public Emergency Notification & Volunteer Alerting The EA1 is the solution for remotely activating public warning signage.  Examples include tornado sirens, flash flood warnings, fire danger, Amber Alert, icy roads, etc.  The EA1 can also send text messages to scrolling signs.  This can occur in conjunction with the activation of audible alarms and visual strobes.  This is ideal for public notification in buildings, schools, hotels, factories, etc. The group call feature allows for any number of signs or flashing lights to be activated at the same time over a wide geographic area.  In addition, the EA1 Emergency Alert is the perfect solution for low cost yet highly effective alerting of volunteer fire fighters in their home.  When activated the EA1 will emit an audible alarm and activate the power outlet on the units faceplate.  A common setup is to simply place the EA1 on a table and plug a lamp into the faceplate.  When paged from dispatch or any touch tone phone the EA1 will awaken the fire fighter to a lit room.  As an option the EA1 can be ordered with a serial cable, allowing for attachment of a serial printer.  When paged the alphanumeric message will be printed out at the same time the alarm sounds and the outlet is activated.  The EA1 is an ideal complement to alphanumeric belt pagers common to volunteers. Firehouse Automation The FAS-8 is designed for activating one or more relays in a firehouse and if desired, printing the alphanumeric message to a serial printer.  For this application the FAS-8 is set to activate upon receiving the proper paging cap code sent from 911 dispatch.  Up to eight different devices can be activated all with individual time functions.  The most common devices to turn on include the PA amplifier, audible wake up alarm, and house lights.  The most common device turned off is the stove.  The FAS-8 can accept up to 8 different cap codes and have separate relay and time functions per cap code.  This allows for different alerting to be accomplished at the same physical location depending upon which cap code is sent.  This can be very helpful when fire crews and medical crews are housed in the same building. FAS8 Put the innovative technology of Nighthawk to work for you. For more information on any of our products or services, please contact us.

Helio Launches Buddy Beacon Location Service with Samsung Drift Mobile Phone

November 09, 2006
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Associate Editor

Mobile telephony company Helio today announced a new GPS-based location and tracking service called Buddy Beacon. The service, which uses Google (News - Alert) mapping technology, is available on the Drift co-branded phone from Samsung.

The Drift phone, in combination with Buddy Beacon, lets customers exchange information about their current location with nearby friends, Associated Press said in a report.

“Rather than calling or texting, Helio members can switch on their Buddy Beacon and use satellite technology to broadcast their location to the friends they add to their Buddy List,” Helio explained in its announcement. “When they turn on Buddy Beacon, their Buddy List friends can see their location on a map along with a nearby address.”

The AP report noted that a service similar to Buddy Beacon previously was available from AT&T (News - Alert) Wireless, but was discontinued when the company was acquired by Cingular.

Instead of GPS, AT&T’s Find Friends service “relied on triangulation to locate a subscriber, measuring the distances a signal was traveling between the person's phone and the closest network antennas,” AP said.

The AP report added that mobile companies including Sprint (News - Alert), Nextel, and Disney Mobile recently began offering phones that let parents track the location of their children. Tracking services for business use also are gaining momentum.

Helio President and COO Wonhee Sull said in a statement that Buddy Beacon is just the latest service the company offers as a way to bring advanced wireless technologies from Korea to the U.S.

“Exceptional collaborators like Samsung (News - Alert) and Google combined with Helio’s focus on constant innovation are making first-to-market devices like Drift and our specialized services a reality,” Sull said.

Buddy Beacon is included on Drift with Helio’s All-In membership plan; also included is a GPS-enabled version of Google Maps, which provides real-time traffic data, detailed directions, integrated search results (map with info about local businesses), and satellite imagery.

Some of Drift’s features are listed below.

• Two colors: gunmetal black and frost white
• 2.12-inch display
• Stereo Bluetooth
• 128 MB internal memory (expandable using microSD)
• 2.0 megapixel camera for still photos and video
• MP3, MPEG-4 and VOD support

The phone retails for $225.
