Re: Mobile musings

Voip and Skype tends to be blocked by the networks. If you could do all calls etc over a wireless conection say on an N95 it would not generate revenue at all and hence being blocked.

Also a lot of the networks are sharing their masts now, T-Mobile share with 3 and I believe that Voda are sharing with Orange, this gives better coverage for the user and reduces the quantity of masts needed for coverage, which makes things a lot more environmentally friendly.

Finally, you can't just jump onto another service provider unfortunately if you are out of a coverage area. Would make things easier for the end user but you just can't do it.
