Matt Warman over in today’s Telegraph has published a piece about internet access being required as a priority for the UK’s most deprived areas. I couldn’t agree more. We’re moving into a stage where, in this country anyway, not having internet connectivity can be a real problem — not least for applying for jobs, for [...]

Help with satellite broadband: Does it actually work?
My wife’s parents live out in the middle of nowhere in Hampshire. When you put their phone number into the BT broadband speed checker, the system does the equivalent of burst out laughing, arms crossed, shaking its head. It estimates a speed of between 0.25mb and 1mb. This, then, is why when I go there, [...]
PRs: Need your help on internal enterprise WiFi
Hi there — I’m about to send this out through SourceWire but I wanted to make sure that everyone reading (not just PRs) has the opportunity to contribute to this new series I’m working on — here are the details: New Content Series: Internal Enterprise WiFi Best Practice I’m working on a content series focusing [...]
Regular users of mobile internet love their operator more!
An interesting one in this morning from On Device Research. They’ve completed an international survey, conducted entirely via mobile internet, that has established frequent mobile internet users appear far more satisfied with their operator, compared to those who use the mobile internet now-and-again. Alistair Hill, the managing director of On Device Research, reckons this trend is [...]
Help: I need a system for rating internet connections in Parisian hotels
Here I am then, typing to you from the 6th Floor of the Pullman Rive Gauche hotel in Paris. The most distinguishing feature of this hotel for me? Well, it’s opposite the Reed Midem headquarters where I’m doing quite a lot of work for their Connected Connectivity event. It takes about 60 seconds to walk [...]
New Series: How to deliver WiFi for 10,000 delegates, properly
I can’t stand going to events and conferences and finding the WiFi services are either faulty, slow or non-existent. It’s a big problem for event organisers — and one that can no longer be sidestepped as being the venue’s fault. Complain to the event organiser that, “The WiFi is rubbish,” or, “I can’t seem to [...]
BlykWatch: Swap to £15 credit winds up some users
Those of you who are regular readers of the site will know that I covered a series on the site known as BlykWatch, which was where I posted regularly about UK ad funded MVNO Blyk. In September Ewan and I took the decision to retire the series as we felt nothing much was happening with [...]
The Power of Media Technology
I’m going to avoid delving into the politics of it, but over the past twelve days there has been a reoccurring story in our headlines; the Israel/Gaza issue. It’s one that has sparked outcry, and one that shouldn’t have happened. However, I was watching the news the other day, I think it was CNN or [...]
Back in the valley of the shit internet connection
It hasn’t taken long for me to get increasingly wound-up at the internet speeds out here in Shitsville, Essex. I moved out here a while ago to be near one of the MIR consulting clients. We’re doing a lot of work for them and it makes sense for me to be physically located nearby, instead [...]
Jimmy Wales: Mobile internet usage will ‘explode’
Well, we know this. But it’s good to hear the mobile 1.0 lot (i.e. the dotcom chaps) recognising the coming mobile revolution: While websites may suffer in the looming recession, Mr Wales believes mobile internet will “explode” in the next couple of years. “I am constantly on my phone, and I use Facebook on here. [...]
The BenQ S6 internet tablet looks nifty
BenQ have always been on the outer edge of my radar when it comes to mobile handsets. I keep an eye out — and I think it’s time to drop a bit of attention over to them after they’ve generally announced that their S6 Internet Device should hit the marketplace at the end of October [...]
E62 internet USB/bluetooth question
Got this in from reader, Matt. I have an E62 which I’d like to have sync to our Groupwise system at work, which shouldn’t be a big deal as I already have Groupwise Mobile Server (which is based on Nokia IntelliSync). However, before I go ahead and sign up for a somewhat expensive data package [...]
