Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

That's a big handicap to overcome against any competitor paying zilch for its spectrum. Either it will have to convince customers that they need to pay a premium for supposedly higher reliability, or BigAir and Clever will have to suffer some embarrassing outages as result of interference. |
