CSTIS celebrate 20 years of service

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

.. by releasing what could be possibly the worlds most wasteful PDF.

So comments ‘A’ in a recent email. (A is a leading industry player so I have kept the identity anonymous.)

‘A’ continues:

15.62 megabytes of data for a whole 17 pages. That’s give or take about a meg a page. Or to put it another way, about £45 to download on your mobile at £3/meg.

It’s at http://www.icstis.org.uk/pdfs_news/20anniversary.pdf if anyone on SMS Text News fancies a read (and a few cups of coffee while you’re waiting for it to download)

There’s some irony in there somewhere - and possibly a joke - that the regulator that battles so hard on the side of the consumer to stop shockingly high mobile bills being racked up via premium SMS are
inviting you to get a shockingly high mobile bill by downloading their 17 page anniversary publication.

Oh the fun of this industry..

@nokiamobiletalk I'm usually Blackberry Bold, T-Mobile G1 (especially in the States) and testing the Nokia N97 at the mo

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@patphelan Ewan says hello

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
