BT to drag T-Mobile onto 21st Century
Network that is
SaaS data loss: The problem you didn’t know you had
T-Mobile has dodged a massive investment in telco kit ahead of the launch of mobile TV and other bandwidth sucking services by striking a five year managed network deal with BT.
The deal, worth several hundred million pounds over the five years, will mean BT takes responsibility for connect the mobile firm’s base stations to its core network. This will initially be done via leased lines, before the links are shifted to Ethernet.
The network will, no surprise here, be compatible with BT’s 21st Century Network, which at some point will break out of its trial comfort zone of Swansea.
T-Mobile said the deal will provide it with a “key stepping stone” towards next generation services, and give it the network capacity to support high bandwidth services such as mobile TV, and music and video downloads.
More importantly, perhaps, it means T-Mobile doesn’t have to build its own network, “allowing it to benefit from reduced risk and reductions in capital and operational expenditure.”®

T-Mobile
In a previous incarnation T-mobile were 1-2-1
Or as we knew them in our family Wonky-One
This was due to my brother owning one of their phones 'cos it was cheap,- if he turned his head while talking to someone, the call would be dropped.
There is the Theory of the Moebius where a twist in the fabric of space....
Title
"T Mobile has dodged a massive investment in Telco kit" - of course they have - they've dodged any investment at all for at least 3 years because BT won't deliver anything until then !!
In the meantime their revenue to BT for lease lines will increase massively to cope with the increase in data demand and/or their customers will get a crap service - Idiots !!
T Mobile should stop taking those drugs they hand out to those kids on their adverts !!
BT changes plan...
You're teasing us, the real story is BT's change to its 21CN plans:
"The network will, no surprise here, be compatible with BT’s 21st Century Network, which at some point will break out of its trial comfort zone of Swansea."
