Hassel, the operators,carriers are mightier than most, and
work hard on their own and especially their common, through
global communication, connected business as well as
standardization.
Wasn't it the technical boss of Vodafon who had a dream
of 4G beeing customer-service-operator driven and not a
subject of technology blackmail??
(I can find the link to the presentation if you need it,
from februari where he also "admitted" that "some asian
markets seem to be lost" in terms of some specific
technology)
Anyone familiar with the standardization process also
knows that although operators have different and specific
needs, as well as compete, still have long history of
working out global glitches, one way or the other,
especially building and implementing global standards.
Sometimes this takes more or less time, something they
also are aware of, just like with investments and
building cash flow. Some things are given higher
priority and some things can be worked out in detail
later on, as long as the general goal is in agreement
and the papers are signed.
UK is also interesting, having no Ericsson,Nokia,Alcatel
nor Siemens and a need for sorting out their own
future, which I'm sure they will do. Maybe even with
the help of media, adjusting sterling and domestic
production of software and ARMS. (they are pretty good at that)
However, it doesn't look as they got much, in the long run,
from the indirect way of collecting taxes through upfront
licenses, tough, urgent situation.(maybe the interest rates
will drop, who knows?)
Another interesting UK thing is their old connection
to China and Asia, from civil servants to trade
and market places like HongKong. (sometimes it makes
them look a little strange, maybe the reason their
humour and ways are so popular and evolved??)

Hmm, maybe UK, like China and Korea, wants some
domestic R&D and even production?? (less language
problems in San Diego, but higher income taxes in UK??) |
