Before it is send to a mobile phone, the data has to be retrieved in the
classic way. Do you really think that the companies who run mobile network

When you do, do you think that all these mobile operators do not have that
skill? Do you think they do not have capacity at the key locations of the
Internet infrastructure?
Thanks,
