The open beta will close on Aug 7th and the licenses will expire on Aug 31st so if you apply now, that gives about a month's worth of testing,
You need to register on Digium's site to make a purchase which will cost all of $0.

Virgin Mobile Sprints away
Sprint is acquiring Virgin Mobile USA for $483m. Sprint is already a shareholder (13.1%) and Virgin is an MVNO on Sprint's network.
Sprint will gain advantages by reducing operational requirements.
This will give Virgin a small cash boost, but the whole group is still up for sale.

O2 UK follow Vodafone with SMS access to Twitter
UK O2 users can now send tweets from the mobile phone using SMS (and of course receive them via SMS too).
The system is set-up like the already working Vodafone system where device updates are enable per user and/or for replies and/or direct messages.
Messages are sent to (ro come from) 86444.
Sending messages to your phone is free while sending messages to Twitter will cost a the same as a standard SMS, though they can be included in any SMS bundle deal. O2 are operating a fair use policy whereby if you receive more than 600 messages per month, you'll be asked to cut your usage down.
It now only a matter of time before the other MNOs follow suit.

Orange and even O2 may bid against Vodafone for T-Mobile UK - Rethink Wireless
Orange and even O2 may bid against Vodafone for T-Mobile UK - Rethink Wireless
It looks like O2 and even Orange may enter the fray to purchase T-Mobile UK, even though Orange have stated they're not in the game (insiders believe they owuld put an offer in just to stop Vodafone).
However Deutsche Telekom may hold on to the struggling T-Mobile to give Richard Moat (T-Mobile's UK CEO) time to turn the company around.

Ericsson wins Nortel assets but Q2 results impacted by downturn - Rethink Wireless
Ericsson wins Nortel assets but Q2 results impacted by downturn - Rethink Wireless
Ericsson has won the bidding to buy the wireless assets of Nortel. They paid $1.3bn which was considerably larger than $650m initially offered by Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN).
This will put Ericsson in a good position to get into the CDMA migration LTE game in North America. it's surprising that NSN let the Nortel assets get away since the wireless division was profitable and both the Swedes and Fins have been trying to expand operations in the North American markets.
Nortel also has a well regarded LTE IP portfolio which now goes to Ericsson too. Ericsson now becomes the second largest CDMA provider only down from ZTE.
However on the same day Ericsson published their results which were "disappointing".
