It’s been a little while since I sat down and wrote an operator innovation post. Today I’m doing a lot of speculating. I’m wondering just what it will take for true, exciting services to be offered by an operator. I don’t mean unlimited texts, or fancy calling plans — I mean absolutely new products and […]

It’s time for post number 7 in the Operator Innovation series I’m running here at Mobile Industry Review. I’m looking at the importance of user experience in the context of hardware — particularly around failure.

It’s time for the sixth post in our Operator Innovation series.

Buy an Orange contract and you’ll get prioritised access to over 450 fully approved and vetted taxi firms across the UK. That’s one firm in […]
I was going to call this series, “Why operators are shit,” but I have decided to try and adopt a more positive tone with the site. It’s just too easy and far too accurate to call our mobile operators ‘shit’. Too easy. Too accurate. I’m not bothering with names at the moment though. I wanted […]
