It seems like the market is crying out for a decent data roaming sim. Data Abroad seems to one of those areas that will grow exponentially.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Skype, 3 and T-Mobile merger is in the pipeline

Ahh I forgot about the 30% figure, I did remeber the compettion was rumoured to going to block a potential merge (can't remember the operators) here in the UK.
These things may not be possible be would it be the best for the customer? I personally do not think it will.

Ahh that is a good idea, I must see if they have a 5th edition. The point is that the page *should* be viewable on a mobile browser anyway. I cannot see a normob using something like devicescape.

Thanks Dan.
All I could gather about Virgin's service was it was provided by t mobile I have no idea about how the back end works.
The NE east coast services sounds much better then the west coast!

I asked @edent on twitter. He works for voda. He said Voda sell the iPhone in a number of countries (PT, GR, EG etc). It also works on N95 8GB & f490. More coming soon.

This is across the whole voda brand and is not UK only. :(

Re: Google Latitude’s #1 Problem Can’t Be Fixed

andrewgrill — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:32:36 -0000

Beg to differ but 15 years ago SMS was a

"network signalling service with no commercial viability" - how times change when you let Normbs use a service they work out how they want to use it.

Re: Latitude: The Trojan Horse — Why “Who’s Nearby?” Is Not A Business

andrewgrill — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:27:19 -0000

As per Paul's comment below - Google gathered this massive Cell-ID and WiFi database themselves - couldn't wait for the operators - so it's their resource to share.

I've also posted my first look on Latitude over at http://www.andrewgrill.com/blog?p=1742

Re: Six Months Later - PR Agencies who don’t blog?

andrewgrill — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 17:46:27 -0000

Barry - thanks for the feedback on the blog *blush*.

Your points are valid - but how do we get this message across?

The parallel issue with mobile advertising is that the internet models are being moved onto the mobile (WAP banners) – just as TV started off as “radio with pictures” – ie the existing medium and methods are being bolted on and we hope it works. It doesn’t. A new way needs a new approach.

Just as with PR, it's a case of "we've got to do a blog!!!" without looking at the unique nature of blogging and applying this new channel to an existing business process - PR.

Just as with anything, those of us that "get it" will succeed.

Stay in touch.

Very Interested on your views Jonathan, if your model can clearly show to potential advertisers that ROI on mobile is higher then traditional mediums then this really will be the future.
Unfortunately #powwow living in Manchester is not possible, hopefully between MIR and your personal blog hopefully they will be a summary!
