Which company provides the "greenest" cellphone service? Two new research surveys help provide the answers.
Finding the greenest phones requires looking at two things: mobile providers and mobile manufacturers. First up, green service providers. ABI Research looked at a long list of companies and ranked them according to such factors as use of clean technology and environmentally friendly initiatives throughout their infrastructure, equipment, and devices, and how readily they accept handset recycling. AT&T took top marks in the survey, because it has focused more efforts on green R&D. Sprint Nextel came in a close second, because it excelled in handset recycling, green IT, and green phones.
As for your phones, a study by Jupiter Research didn't endorse any specific manufacturers.
