The authors comments are so general, that they can be defended till the cows come home.

Look, the bottom line is that fixed line interne thas had quite reasonable penetration, and mobile internet is an incredibly small fraction in comparison. So, logically, the area which can experience most growth, is mobile. You dont need to be a senior telco suit to figure this out.

In addition to which, mobile internet costs are ridiculous, as has previously been written in this forum. The sooner we get to unlimited downloads with a fixed monthly cost, the sooner you'll be able to expand the space.

Current pricing is nothing short of predatory, and I personally am disgusted with the attitude of telco's in this regard.

I think the sooner we get Wimax to cover a city like London, the sooner we'll have serious Voip options, so that we can do away with traditional Telco's if they choose to be so uncompetetive. You'll then be able to use a converged device to do all your voice and mobile internet with.

Bring it on.
