Hello fellow mobile groupies! I have been at Textopoly since 2008 and currently lead the accounts department. Not only am I a huge fan of my iPhone 4, mobile sites, and all sorts of mobile apps that make my daily routines entertaining - I enjoy researching ways mobile can impact the global community; both commercially and humanitarian wise. Aside from work, I recently graduated from UCI and love to spend my free time at the disco or visiting koala bears at the zoo. Feel free to send me a hello at karla[at]textopoly[dot]com.

FCC Stepping In

The FCC announced its Wireless Innovation and Investment Notice of Inquiry (NOI) late August, catching mobile agencies in a spindle of perplexity and enthusiasm.

The Now Network is Now Specific

Sprint launched its new Compliancy Program in early July. Since then companies and agencies are scrambling through the Power Point and asking themselves if the Now Network is now too specific.

Sprint’s new attention to minor details and demands might be a bit too excessive for some. For example, the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) regulation for [...]
