It is a monopoly.<BR/>I'm sure that for a reasonable amount a VoIP network could be set up in hospitals. That would provide internet as well of course.<BR/><BR/>Infact, all you need is the network, then you can have competing telecoms suppliers for calls.<BR/><BR/>As for mobile phones on planes - I'm worried about the pollution caused by lots of transmitters up there. Could play havoc with all sorts of communication equipment, especially as the Americas use different frequencies.<BR/>It would piss of the radio astronomers no end as well.Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395992764678278326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-48670433699954709672007-04-04T23:03:00.000+01:002007-04-04T23:03:00.000+01:00Even if pts. could use their mobiles, chances are ...Even if pts. could use their mobiles, chances are that they wouldn’t be able to get a reception given the number of Lib Dem campaigns against phone masts.<BR/><BR/>A very good letter has appeared in this week's local rag, the Journal:<BR/><BR/>http://www.tottenhamjournal.co.uk/content/haringey/tottenhamjournal/postbag/story.aspx?brand=HCEJOnline&category=postbag&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=postbagtwgj&itemid=WeED04%20Apr%202007%2010%3A22%3A54%3A323<BR/><BR/>Featherstone has no shame (or brains)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-83142942720790468912007-04-04T15:46:00.000+01:002007-04-04T15:46:00.000+01:00Add the fact that you can't (I believe) use text m...Add the fact that you can't (I believe) use text messages via Patientline, so that deaf people are particularly excluded from communications within hospitals.Edishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852931736127760026noreply@blogger.com
