AT&T follows Verizon?s footsteps in opening their cellular network. More good news for mobile business users. More applications, more control, and lower telecom costs. ?Starting immediately, AT&T customers can ditch their AT&T phones and use any wireless phone, device and software application from any maker - think smartphones, e-mail and music downloading. And they don't have to sign a contract.

Billings, MT, Nov 30 2007. Clearfly Communications has announced it will hold its first Partner Event on December 6 at the Petroleum Club in downtown Billings. The event will feature the attendance by a number of current and prospective Clearfly Channel Partners and will be Clearfly's announcement of the upcoming launch of its flagship integrated communications product, ClearphoneŽ .
Responding to a recent FCC mandate regarding the opening of cellular networks, Verizon Wireless today announced that it will "provide customers the option to use, on its nationwide wireless network, wireless devices, software and applications not offered by the company".
Clearfly commends Verizon for the bold decision, one that will eventually benefit business users of cellular services across the country. Companies of any size will benefit from the ability to procure mobile handsets from a variety of sources other than Verizon, including their traditional phone system vendors.
It is also a huge opportunity for Value Added Resellers of traditional PBX and networking equipment to augment the range of products offered by including higher-margin smart phones, and to market value added-services such as pre-configuring the phones with their customers' favorite software applications etc.
Look for more US cellular carriers to join Verizon in this ground-breaking announcement.

Clearfly's focus on Quality of Service (QoS) management is designed to ensure the consistent level of reliability and voice quality that our business customers expect.
Below is a demonstration on how our QoS policies affect the perceived quality of our ClearPhone(R) product, based on tests recently conducted in our engineering lab.
The first graphic shows the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) for each of 10 calls being carried over a T1 along with some other typical data. A "perfect" perfect score is about 4.30-4.37. As you can see these calls are all over the chart. Calls would have echo, cutouts, and would be unacceptable. The average MOS is 2.80
The second graphic shows the same 10 calls. This time however they have been prioritized above the other data. As you can see all 10 calls are scoring a "perfect" 4.35. These calls would be rated as outstanding and would sound as good or better than a standard landline call.
According to industry research, the average small or medium size business in the US spends over $150 a month per employee in communications costs, including data, Internet access, long distance and cellular services. Clearfly believes this expense can be easily reduced by up to 30%. How?
Flat-fee bundled communications packages allow a company to reduce its communications costs by eliminating long distance charges and expensive duplication of equipment and circuits. Even more importantly, they help your company increase employee productivity and reduce its administrative burden by eliminating the need to manage multiple vendors.
