Why cellular network sharing makes sense?

 THERE’S CONSIDERABLE logic behind yesterday’s confirmation that T-Mobile and 3 UK are going to share their 3G networks. Neither has a fixed broadband offering – so concentrating on mobile broadband makes sense.Unlike the stalled Vodafone and Orange RAN (Radio Access Network) share, this couple has gone right ahead and formed a management company - Mobile Broadband Network Ltd.
There’s loads of coverage figures being banded around but the combined network should reach the higher end of 90 per cent of the population.

The initial focus in 2008 will be on extending wide area coverage to rural areas, chiefly by moving 5,000 base stations from places where the two networks current overlap. Then the focus will shift to improving indoor coverage in dense urban areas in 2009.

an Open Cellular Network - Proposed by Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless has announced that its cellular network will be available to outside devices, services and applications according to a news release. 

The FCC  auction of the 700-MHz spectrum for wireless broadband networks to be conducted in January is seen as the reason for Verizon’s move. All companies wishing to bid are required to file a license application for the auction which gives a chance for having open and accessible wireless broadband network in the US.

The advantage for Verizon is that developers and manufacturers of handsets, non phone wireless devices like Internet tablets, ultramobile PCs and gaming devices can now manufacture equipment to suit the Verizon network. These devises are usually 3G network capable and based on UMTS technology and not EV-DO system of Verizon.

The announcement by verizon enables mobile phone manufacturers like Sony Ericsson , Samsung and LG Electronics to make phones which would work on verizon’s CDMA network as Verizon’s technical specifications are now available.

With an open network available people especially business travelers can access the internet with their laptops, more features can be added in portable electronic devices and it enables the government and utility agencies to connect any device for example meter readers to the network.
