A quick note for any WiFi equipment and service vendors and mobile operators concerned with the on-going development of in-venue WiFi. It’s a continual bugbear for everyone concerned. The users at big events want to be connected. Venues want to sell connectivity. Events organisers want to participate. Vendors want their kit to be used. Operators [...]

I’m going to buy an iPhone 4S: What network should I buy with?
Right then, following on from my rather lukewarm experience at the Three store this morning, I am looking to buy an iPhone 4S — on contract. Half of me thinks, ‘wait and buy it outright in November,’ — the other half says do it, do it, do it today. Normally Three is my default provider [...]
Went into the Three store in Richmond today…
So, you remember I had a tantrum with my main Three account last month? I used it in my MiFi unit thinking everything was fine. It was, until I hit a 2GB usage limit and ran up a £120 bill. My fault, my fault but I was seriously annoyed. I was annoyed with myself, principally. [...]
My top tip for data roaming in the States: The $99 Best Buy Connect MiFi unit
I’m having a wicked time now that I’ve got myself a Best Buy Connect MiFi unit. If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, you’ll have seen the videos I’ve been publishing about how much I’m enjoying being free from the stupid mobile data roaming rates that my operators are trying to foist on me. In [...]
Everything Everywhere removes 22 senior executives — good news, I think
Mobile News is reporting that 22 senior executives are to go at Everything Everywhere. I think this is good news — anything that will help the company move faster and quicker, without too many things being ‘stuck in committee’ can only be positive: Everything Everywhere CEO Olaf Swantee continues restructure policy axing 22 senior positions [...]
“The train is moving now, my phone network is shit, talk later?”
I overheard a young lady on the train this evening. She was speaking ‘loudly’ on her iPhone 4 annoying a lot of the other folk in the carriage. Eventually as the train began to move she decided to finish her conversation thus: “Ok the train is moving now so shall we talk later? I’ll get [...]
o2′s Workshop concept store is very, very promising
This afternoon I needed to buy a decent tripod for the video camera. I left the old-old tripod in some hotel, somewhere on the planet — deliberately, as it was getting too clunky and too annoying. I bought a new one but negated to recognise that it didn’t work very well for stand-up interviewing. It [...]

o2′s innovation team launches international calling card app – love it!
I have to say kudos to the team at o2′s innovation labs. Kudos gents. They’ve created an international calling card application that you can download for your app. It’s a really nice idea — and something that I think most o2 customers who call abroad now-and-again should have on their phone. If you’re a regular [...]
Mobile Developer Titan profile: Intohand
For a long time I’ve been interacting with Kieran Gutteridge on Twitter. He’s one of those independent mobile developers that the large mobile operators, manufacturers and platforms are chasing obsessively, quite simply, because if you can win him over, your platform might stand a chance. It’s all very well paying millions to a game developer [...]
My new 3 Huwaei E586 MiFi: Faster than 65% of UK connections
That image there highlights just how good the all new 3 MiFi (Model: E586) is when it comes to offering a usable internet connection. Indeed, this connection isn’t just usable, according to Speedtest.net, it’s actually better than 65% of the rest of the United Kingdom. Love it. I’m using this at home in Ascot and [...]
Canadian operator Rogers files to become a bank
This is one of the highest profile examples of an operator filing to become a bank. Most of the time when I speak to senior executives about their plans in this area, they reply that, ‘all that filing-to-be-a-bank stuff is complicated’, and the conversation ends. It’s nice to see an operator doing something a little [...]
