Still, considering TMO have the best 3G network in the UK, and (imo) the best takeup - and selection - of flat-rate data packages, it seems a bit short-sighted to run these 'public trials' without including TMO as a carrier! Orange and Vodafone are ridiculously expensive data-wise, only 3 could be classed as a competitor with TM 3G-wise.
Maybe I'm just jealous. ;) Still annoying that I've even been a member of the multicast trials for approaching a year now, and I've only ever managed to make the multicast streams actually WORK once - and that was in Halls, and then two weeks later they changed their network topology and multicast stopped working! And my ISP is stalling on multicast enablement (Be*) when they're one of the few ISPs who would actually properly benefit from a multicast-enabled network given their LLU infrastructure... Sigh. When the iPlayer is rolled out, will the mobile streams (and/or access to them) fall under the iP umbrella? I'd love to be able to authenticate with an iPlayer username which I've set up on my desktop client, then be able to watch mobile-formatted streams of the same channels via my mobile device - that'd make the morning commute so much less painful! Huge PITA to set up though :D > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Butterworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 29 March 2007 14:03 > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > Subject: RE: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication > trial with Orange, Vodafone and 3 > > Chris, > > I wouldn't worry about it, the service is going to be even > worse than the DAB service used by Virgin Mobile! > > Brian Butterworth > www.ukfree.tv > > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher > > Woods > > Sent: 29 March 2007 13:51 > > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > > Subject: RE: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication trial > > with Orange, Vodafone and 3 > > > > Oh for CRYING out loud - why not a partnership with T-Mobile? > > They have the best 3G HSDPA network in the UK! > > > > And I'm on T-Mobile! > > > > Typical. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Brian Butterworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: 29 March 2007 11:46 > > > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > > > Subject: [backstage] BBC announces 3G mobile syndication > trial with > > > Orange, Vodafone and 3 > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/03 > > > _march/29/3g.s > > > html > > > > > > Can we have the BBC one, BBC THREE and (in particular) > BBC News 24 > > > streams online please? > > > > > > If you can stream them on a mobile, it would be useful if > > they could > > > be provided online in the same format (I mean, that's > what you are > > > doing > > > anyway...) > > > > > > Brian Butterworth > > > www.ukfree.tv > > > > > > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > -- > > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > > > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > > > Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 268.18.20/737 - Release > > > Date: 28/03/2007 > > > 16:23 > > > > > > > > > - > > > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
