Amp'd Mobile shutting downToday

According to different sources all over the world, Amp'D Mobiles is shuttign down its services today. The embattled MVNO alerted subscribers to the shutdown via text message over the weekend, urging consumers wishing to port their Amp'd phone number to a rival carrier to do so by the end of business today. No early termination fee will apply, although prepaid subscribers due an outstanding unpaid credit, rebate or refund will need to file a claim "to be considered for payment." According to the FAQ, Amp'd "is currently in discussions with several parties" exploring a potential acquisition.

Amp'd customers were alerted to the shutdown via text message over the weekend. Anyone still using the Amp'd network that wishes to port their number to a non-bankrupt cellular carrier is urged strongly to do so today. (Though numbers should theoretically still be portable after the shutdown, it will likely be easier to do so now.)

Amp'd was well known as Mobile Virtual Network Operator, or MVNO, a term which means it doesn't have its own infrastructure but rather leases network space from other carriers (in this case, Verizon). Other (relatively) popular MVNOs include Virgin Mobile, Helio, and Boost Mobile. To date, no MVNO has made much of a dent in the U.S. cellular market, though many continue to try.

At this time, it appears that over the first three days alone Apple sold at least 500,000 iPhones — unsubsidized, unlike almost all other handsets sold in the US — which is more than the Motorola RAZR sold in its first month. In comparison, the iPhone has generated roughly 200m mentions on the Web, according to Google.

Whether the iPhone turns into a long-term success or not, however, the combination of excitement and fear it has stirred has already caused a number of changes in the mobile communications industry. Most important is that the device has raised user expectations— and not just for that superior design for which Apple is famous. The iPhone has already woken up a large portion of the market to the benefits of a menu-free, multi-touch user interface, to the idea of mobile Internet access, and to the opportunity in software and device integration.
