The new ZERO Charger from AT&T , in stores in May, automatically cuts off the electrical circuit when not charging, eliminating wasted electricity, also known as " vampire power .". The US Department of Energy estimates internal and external adapters burn through about 120 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) per year of electricity wasted as heat, costing consumers more than $12 billion in electric bills. Why don't we have these already?. The ZERO charger, which AT&T calls a "global first," incorporates a circuit which senses when the charged device is disconnected and breaks the electrical circuit.

The final auctions will begin on , following a mock auction on and . Google will be selling the Nexus One with AT&T, but the non contracted $529 phone will make it a hard sell.

Analysts said spending on network infrastructure will be a prime investment area regardless of the government's plan. Investors are expecting AT&T and Verizon to spend more this year on wireless infrastructure, particularly on backhaul networks that connect wireless broadcast towers. UBS analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos said wireless investment would likely be a key topic at the annual CTIA wireless show, which starts in Las Vegas on . "Our sense is upside may be possible to AT&T wireless backhaul spending, as AT&T works to improve wireless capacity, following a 200 percent increase in mobile traffic in 2009," he said in a research report. Companies such as Juniper, Tellabs Inc and Ciena Corp will likely benefit from such spending, he added

And now there's another song in the works: AT&T (T), which was finally going to sell Palm devices, has put the move off from spring to summer. My bet is that summer will turn into fall and finally Palm's winter of discontent. If it lasts that long.

They are among the "vampire" devices that consume energy even while in "standby" mode when they are not being used. The U. S. Department of Energy estimates that standby power makes up as much as 20 percent of home energy use in the U. S. In addition to saving power in the wall socket, the Zero charger can help save the environment because it will work with many different devices, so there is less need to buy multiple chargers, according to AT&T. The charger will cost about the same as current replacement chargers offered by AT&T. The carrier lists several small travel chargers on its Web site that are priced at US$29.99, or $20.99 with a $9 online discount. It's rare for standby power to make up 20 percent of a home's energy consumption, but the average household may spend $40 per year on it, said Michael Kanellos, a senior analyst at GreenTech Media.

When bashing AT&T's network, two cities usually come up above all others: New York City and San Francisco. AT&T has even acknowledged just how bad it is in those cities. But they've also said for a while that they're working on making it better.
