Wonderful Wireless UK

Posted on June 5, 2007 by Thomas Purves

# The UK is one of the world’s most competitive wireless markets

# Read it and weep. Orange here offers the blackberry 8800 for only 79 pounds with plan. The Pearl is free. Compare with Rogers here. ahem, not free.

# There’s wifi networks everywhere, mostly these are not free but they do explicitly offer and advertise skype and voip services for, example, nokia n-series phones.

# Carriers here and in europe actually offer the the wonderful nokia n-series phones. sigh.

# Wifi carriers partner widely. I’m posting this thanks to a 2 month boingo trial subscription (a great investment) I bought back in Miami Intnl’ 4 weeks ago and it’s given me unlimited access everywhere here.

# I don’t need to tell you about the data rates.

reboot back channel “reboot is a community event for the practical visionaries who are at the intersection of digital technology and change all around us…
2 days a year. 500 people. Copenhagen.”

#There’s a vibrant backchannel powered by Jaiku here. (pronounced ‘Yaiku’ did you know?) Jaiku afterall

#There’s a million wonderful pictures pouring in to flickr. Here’s also mineh.

#Lars is posting the best notes on the conference, wonderfully mindmapped microblogging, Rob Paterson’s Trusted Spaces, etc.

#Great to see many old friends here. And this time of year in Copenhagen, the sun almost doesn’t set.

#Here is the schedule for day 2. Much of the program evolves as the conference goes on.

#I’ll post more notes as I can. As with any big conference, power and wifi is problematic
