5 years ago wireless broadband would have looked like a safe investment. The advent of 3G has meant serious competition with large mobile phone companies.
Providing wireless broadband to rural areas requires good sites for access points with clear line of sight.
Companies have came and gone in the last number of years as they did not understand the logistics of providing wireless broadband and underestimated the issues involved in providing access to remote users.
It reminded me that every 2 years or so you need to reformat a PC and install the sw so as to fix any OS issues and streamline its behaviour. The same can be said for Sat Navs. I would recommend an annual factory reset as it will clean out any "gremlins" that might be lurking in the sat nav's operating system.
The irish times news paper have today launched a mobile edition of their online website http://www.irishtimes.com. The website can be accessed on a mobile phone using the address m.irishtimes.com
"In addition to a full breaking news service that is updated daily, the mobile site provides highlights from each day's newspaper. Some of our readers' favourite functions, such as most read stories and weather, are also included."
I have just accessed the mobile version using a Nokia E51 and was impressed with the speed of loading and the simple but intuitive interface.
