I’m posting this on the 5th of March 2009. I’m doing it for posterity’s sake so I can look back and remark just how shit the UK’s infrastructure is. Some people in the country are lucky enough to have nice fast connections. It seems that wherever I tend to choose to live, the infrastructure is [...]

Andrew Bud on mBlox’s Sender-Pays Mobile Data offering
At Mobile World Congress, we made a b-line for the mBlox stand to find out more about their Sender-Pays Data offering. It’s highly, highly innovative, still a trial — and only for the UK networks at the moment (with the exception of T-Mobile UK!). Andrew explains the concept in the video, but briefly, here’s the [...]
Operators offering SIM only data deals
I had an email in from a reader by the name of Mark wondering if I was aware of any vendors that do SIM only data deals. I was initially about to start rhyming off most of the UK (and quite a few international) networks until I realised that I think almost every deal I [...]

They’re launching their NextG wirelss broadband network capable of 21mbps at Mobile World Congress, along with the first 21mbps capable devices.

T-Mobile UK’s “GB:MB:kB” data itemisation
I didn’t use 10 gigabytes of data on the 1st of January, did I? Have a read of my roaming data bill from T-Mobile UK (for my G1) over the Festive period: That must be megabytes. 10 meg’s worth of data, costing 13 quid, right? Yeah. This new way of laying out your data usage [...]
Are you a woman? Do you work in mobile?
If you’re a woman and you’re working in mobile data, I reckon you should be checking out the Women In Mobile Data Association. They’re having a relaxed get-together during Mobile World Congress. So if you’re heading there, you might find this event of value. More details on their Facebook page.
eBuddy – mjelly mobile 2.0 service of the week
Hi its James from mjelly here at Mobile Industry Review with another “Mobile 2.0 Service of the Week”. This time we’re going to take a look at ebuddy – which might be the next big European startup success story to follow in the footsteps of Skype and Last.fm. I spoke with the CEO Jan-Joost Rueb earlier this week [...]
Vodafone trials 16mbps HSPA+ mobile broadband
Pretty soon you could be surfing the urban jungle via a 16mbps data connection according to the chaps at Vodafone. During some HSPA+ 64QAM technology trials, the Vodafone chaps in Spain managed to achieve 16mbps. But it gets better. They’re planning to trial 21mbsp this quarter using HSPA+ MIMO. Vodafone experts estimate that the technology [...]
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 [...]
Orange data bill: £178 –> £10
Now, if you’re in the middle of getting nailed by Orange for your data usage, do talk to Orange. A MIR reader had the following issue. He thought he was on the £1.50 per day, unlimited data usage tariff. But, er, no. Call it a billing issue. A feature. Or whatever you like. He was [...]
All I Want For Christmas…
In an ideal world, I would ask for happiness, and the end of this dismal time of year. But of course I’m not here to discuss that! No, no, no… What do I want from the world of Mobile this Christmas? Firstly, I call for originality. I personally think originality should be the first aspect [...]
Review: Teleware PMN Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU)
If you’re a true telecoms geek (and lets face it, if you’re reading MIR, you’re well on your way) then you’ve thought, nay dreamed, about having your own private mobile network. Even for the non-techies amongst us (I’ve been told there are some), the allure of not having to pay any money to the Vodafones [...]
