" "looking to slim down and exit areas where it can't be certain of holding a strong position"... crikey! So what does that leave them with? With the CEO on the record last week looking to flog off LTE and Metro Ethernet... what's left?? " In Nortel takes the big dipper - fails to come back up the other side Over 6 months by Guy Daniels
" After years of happy service from Pipex, the ISP sold out to Tiscali. And guess what? The service went down the drain. They have already lost the contracts of 3 members of my family, and are soon to lose me too. Being told the reason for my less-than-ONE KILOBIT per second evening speed (on a 8Mbit/s tariff) was due to a "database migration that went wrong" really sums them up....

" I could have guessed that the woeful Tiscali (who currently provides my home "broadband", but not for much longer) would be one of the Six. Shame on you. If anyone would like MY record of Tiscali (and its terrible service to me and my family), they are more than welcome. Share and share alike?

" Why no comments? Don't people see that this is just the beginning? Isn't there an ISP out there with the balls to comment? " In UK ISPs agree to illegally file-share their users' records Over 6 months by Guy Daniels
" Third time lucky.... challenges such as the roaming rate fiasco, and the regulation of mobile TV. And if all goes well with the events, why not open up membership of the Association to non-GSM operators (there are a few around, apparently)? An association for all mobile operators? Dangerous prediction, but when the GSMA celebrates the 25th anniversary in five years time, it will no longer be the GSMA...

" 300 word limit??? My words of wisdom lost forever... Anyway, what I was trying to say (in a much shorter version now) was; Whisper it quietly, but some may even offer WiMAX. And why not? After 20 years protecting the air interface, what's so special about GSM? The members of the GSMA are more interested in offering services, whatever that takes. The GSMA represents its members, don't forget, and is no longer a technology development group. So open up the show to all and sundry, why not? After all, the major challenges that face operators now are the same for all technologies - such as the roaming rate fiasco, and the regulatory convergence for mobile TV. And if all goes well with the events, why not open the Association doors to non-GSM operators (apparently there are a few around)? Dangerous prediction, but when the GSMA celebrates the 25th anniversary of the MoU in five years' time, it will no longer be the GSMA...

" Twenty years ago, in September 1987, at a meeting in Copenhagen, 14 cellular operators from 13 European countries signed an MoU to develop and deploy a common mobile standard; GSM was brought into the world. Interesting, isn't it, that so much time and effort was spent on the air interface technology. And indeed, so much time spent since (especially in the run up to 3G), on protecting the GSM technology base. Now though, "3GSM" operators are starting to offer services based on other technologies, such as wi-fi. In the coming years, who knows what they'll want to deploy. Whisper it quietly, but some may even use WiMAX. And so the GSM Association needs to reflect the interests of its members, and these interests are all about offering services - whatever the technology. True, the 3GSM World Congress had started to feature some non-GSM exhibitors and cover other standards in the conference, but it was low key. Now the event owners (the GSMA) have removed any remaining barriers to this wider world by rebranding their flagship events. Sensible move. How long before the Association itself drops the GSM name? After all, what does it mean? It's of no relevance (note, Mr Blair, this paragraph is not hard news, it is opinion and comment). Most of the world's mobile operators belong to the GSMA, so why not let in more? The industry is facing increasing political pressures - just look at the mess that is roaming charging - and these are not limited to just one air interface technology. Convergence of mobile and TV? The same applies. Dangerous prediction time: when the GSMA celebrates the 25th anniversary of the MoU, it will no longer be the GSMA...

" No Mr P. of the GSMA, I'm not talking about the accuracy of this story (I know you're reading this...), but about the content of it. How on earth could they even consider doing this? It is absolutely barmy. I'm currently in Russia, where it wasn't that long ago that nationals had to go and seek approval to own a mobile, let alone register as having one. Dark days. Let's hope they don't come round again. " In South Africa's intrusive new mobile legislation Over 6 months by Guy Daniels
