Mobile Network agglomeration
Seems like the inevitable is starting to happen. After last years Ericsson get to run 3’s Network in the UK. Now Vodafone and Orange are joining their 3G networks together
Add to this that 3 mb mobile data is pretty much here for some customers, with 7 and 14 mb capability not far off. before not too long you should be able to get faster data speeds (I would hope reliably) on your mobile than down copper.
So what could be the future? I like the idea that all the network infrastructure is amalgamated so that the users get the best coverage and bandwidth, leaving the MNO’s to become our billing mechanisms, ideally flat rating calls and data making mobile the one stop shop for our comms, no need for fixed line (I wish for that with my extremely poor copper from my house to the exchange).
