In my opinion there just isn't a whole lot of interesting things going on in telecom. No Ring+, no CellNuvo, no free for a year Sprint, etc...
The only interesting thing to me of late was the Freedompop 100/100/100 plan from Target, it works with my $15 AT&T prepaid phone KentE let us know about a while back, so for $20 each I have 2 glovebox phones, one for my wife and one for myself with no other cost until Freedompop stops service (hopefully it will continue for a long time)
