News about TeliaSonera
TeliaSonera (Sweden's biggest operator, leading also on fixed telephony) hasn't been lazy lately:
DM Europe - Telia launches mobile phone alarm service
This enables simple triggering of an alarm to the Swedish SOS Alarm Service. It seems special phones are needed, as GPS is required to get enough precision in the location of the person. I hope they will extend the service also to normal phones, with precision controlled by the base station density (E-OTD etc). Better than nothing.
DM Europe - Telia completes 3G network
Almost all Swedes (8,860,000 of in total 9,016,596, according to CIA Fact Book) now have 3G access. Now we need to figure out what to use it for. It says TeliaSonera will continue to heavily invest in enhancement of the network speed and coverage, but why not spend some money on making it easier for service providers (and also TeliaSonera) to get revenue from information services too?
