Jobs for Wi-Fi and basically said to hell with wireless carriers. So why hasn't Wi-Fi taken off and still a back seat occupant to wireless? Well for one thing, lack of investment. There simply isn't enough money being spent (grand scale) investing in Wi-Fi hotspots such that where ever you go, you're hot. Why? None other than the wireless carriers themselves strong holding the market and running every innovative Wi-Fi solution out of town to limit connectivity options of consumers. Think about it, with all the customer complaints AT&T gets, like who would really pay for AT&T wireless service if Wi-Fi was vast and wide enough to ensure constant coverage? You know the answer. On the other hand, some investments are currently underway with regards to Wi-Fi infrastructure. Moreover, such investments are creating thousands of new jobs.

So why didn't Steve Jobs abandon the ditch the wireless guys idea? Well who said he abandoned the idea? Ever heard of the IPad? Duh, one of the best-selling if not the best-selling models of the IPad 2 is the Wi-Fi only model. Now granted the IPad can't make phone calls, but then who needs phone calls when you can go Facetime using a Wi-Fi connection? After all a picture is worth a thousand words on the phone. So, with the IPad 2 you get Facetime, apps and web surfing with no wireless bill or contract. Wireless contracts stink anyway; they pretty much insure that customer service is all but non-existent. Why should wireless carries give a rats a** about service once you're locked in right. So wireless contracts are bad for consumers and bad for jobs. Perhaps, Steve Jobs in his immortal brilliance left some breadcrumbs on a path for innovators to follow. Hint hint. Invest more in national Wi-Fi which will create busloads of jobs and put serious business pressure on righteous wireless carriers that are blocking innovation and anytime, anywhere social networking. Bottom line -- to hell with wireless carriers after all even Steve Jobs was for the expansion of Wi-Fi and Apple benefited greatly from his visions.

Well it looks like not only has AT&T decided to enter the 4G arena, AT&T also has a job fair coming near you. Job fair, what job fair? Well how about the one in picture below, to start with. As it turns out, the move to 4G is creating none-other than jobs. Right now the focus is squarely on various positions within the retail stores including sales associates to management positions. Of course, don't hold your on the management positions since there simply aren't enough of them to go around.

This ramp up of hiring likely means you can expect a new wave of 4G phones to start showing up AT&T retail stores. Of course, no official word just yet on vendors, platforms, etc. but based on HTC's dominance and quality line of phones, expect HTC phones to be in the mix. Also, AT&T seriously lags behind with respect to Android phones which further signals the likelihood of deals with HTC to rollout AT&T 4G phones. Of course no one really knows what 4G means since each carrier seems to have their own definition of 4G but apparently that's ok since 4G sounds good anyway. Right? Perhaps what's most important at the moment is that 4G really means "jobs" which is a popular buzz word these days. So why shouldn't AT&T capitalize on the buzz word with the idea of a job fair coming near you. Go for. Let em' work!
