The Justice Department’s antitrust division is also looking at the two deals, which critics oppose because they would mean that companies that are rivals in some businesses, like cable and Internet, would become allies in the wireless business.

Verizon Wireless said on December 2 that it would pay Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc $3.6 billion in a spectrum/marketing deal. A similar deal with privately held cable operator Cox Communications, worth $315 million, was announced in mid-December.

Consumer advocates are worried that Verizon’s co-marketing partnership and spectrum deal with the cable industry contains either a documented or undocumented “gentlemen’s agreement” that Verizon will limit future expansion of FiOS. Some rivals, such as Sprint Nextel, have argued that any review of the spectrum sale by regulators should include other elements of the companies’ agreements.

The hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee’s antitrust subcommittee will likely be in March, a committee staffer said.

According to Neil Smit, President, Comcast Cable, four years from signing, Comcast could become a reseller of Verizon Wireless’ service through a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement. Comcast could then purchase wireless service at wholesale rates and sell its own, branded wireless service.

The Verizon-SpectrumCo deal would combine the spectrum with its other AWS holdings for 20 MHz channels, which coupled with LTE-Advanced technology could give it significant throughput gains. First, however, Verizon Wireless has to build and open their AWS spectrum. That could take years. Currently, Verizon only offers LTE on the 700 MHz band.

The $3.6 billion Verizon/Cable deal values the spectrum purchased at $0.69 per MHz-POP (the number of people covered by each megahertz). That’s a big jump from the $0.45 per MHz-POP that cable operators paid in 2006.

Verizon Wireless is 55 percent owned by Verizon Communications and 45 percent owned by England’s Vodafone Group.

Last year’s Mobile World Congress saw Samsung introduce the Galaxy S2, notes Android Pit, which became a huge, world-wide hit. Samsung sold five million Galaxy S2s just in South Korea since the phone’s late April debut, accounting for 1 in 4 of all smartphones sold in South Korea.

The Galaxy S3, Samsung’s smartphone follow-on ,could have similar resolution and processing power with a Samsung Exynos 4412 chipset, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, or a Exynos 4212 chipset, a dual-core ARM9 chipset. The S-3 would likely feature Ice Cream Sandwich with a 4.5″ screen and 4G connectivity.

Meanwhile, rumors abound for the iPad 3. Apple’s anticipated A6 processor may be a quad-core or a more power-efficient dual-core processor. Many are hoping for a “Retina” display, doubling the current iPad’s resolution to 2048-by-1536. DigiTimes says it’s scheduled to launch at the end of the first quarter (March).
