O2 unveils small biz landline to mobile link

Hmm.. Vonage!!

Yeah, Vonage offer exactly the same thing - my missus and I can do the same thing and it'll ring at the same time at home, and on both our mobiles.

The difference is that this actually terminates as a 'line' in my house - ok, it can be moved to anywhere with an internet connection, but it is effectively a landline.

A landline number that doesn't terminate at a fixed place that doesn't often move shouldn't be allowed, imo.

Engineer commits suicide after losing iPhone prototype

Mobile Broadband just not fast enough

Two points

- Better coverage

- Better backhaul where there is coverage

That's the problem with mobile telcos - they just don't seem to have the backhaul from base-stations to the interweb.

It's all well and good if you've got people connecting in on HSDPA at 7.2Mbps, it's a bit of a shitter if you've only got a 10Mbps connection from there to the world!!
