There are absolutely real cybersecurity risks as well - not least, from the people with legitimate access to the system. For example, every year more than half of the prosecutions under the Computer Misuse Act are of serving police officers caught misusing their access to police databases.

Yes; it does exactly what I wanted. 👍

From listening to podcast on Thu evening; ordering and holding in hands on Fri afternoon. 😀 @jonhoneyball.bsky.social

... and 30 minutes later, we've already sold out of shirts in all sizes! 🤯

Sunshine is awesome. You remind me of my lack of driveway. 😀

🤣🤣 sorry.

I don’t know the protocol but suspect VoLTE and VoNR are SIP with automation.

LTE and NR are just VoIP for voice.

Even VoIP ?

That would be interesting, or any global electronics company. Maybe Starlink will achieve this. Next 5 years going to be very interesting.

also in US as an EE customer I get heavily steered to different networks in different states. West coast (CA, NV) AT&T and T-mobile equally and VoLTE calls work. East coast (NC) forced to T-mobile and VoLTE fails, trying to switch to AT&T or Verizon takes putting phone in biscuit tin ...

Yes, I frequent a location where a large EE/Three (MBNL) shared mast was evicted from council car park to build a bigger car park. All local housing estates now have no signal. EE/Three can't fix.... is this the network's fault?

And you can't switch when streaming; plus your home network pays a large roaming fee for this service. Its also not your home country (MCC 234) as in SIM.

Maybe all sites to be Ofcom regulated, stop landlords evicting on end of contract; social good with end of landline. All sites to be offer to share location by all MNOs. Not all sites serve the area as well; neighbours can have better service on different network, different site, due to radio!

Experience of T-Mob & Orange merge, roaming was problematic. You can't swap network whilst 'active'; using data or calls. I had "no service" where airplane toggle needed.
In 2010 just coped, but in 2024 what phone is not using data most of the time.

All UK national licences, so built where customers are; in 1985 that was central London high value of course. All operators know competitors locations, via survey. 1994 (Orange) was relatively easy, but planning blocks and end user hositility to infrastructure since 2000 has hurt too.

😎😇 it’s too expensive for many people.
