[quote]Partial "notspots", where there is coverage from some but not all of the mobile networks, affected a fifth of the UK, leaving people unable to make calls or send texts, it said.[/quote] but but but...competition? i wish the FCC would do this in the US, my town was for like years a deadzone to all but one network because nobody had any equipment in range, then they had to build up everything instead of just working together
Take a SkyTrain to Burrard while being a Telus or Wind Mobile customer. Your signal falls off the face of the earth while Rogers and Bell rock it on.
Infrastructure sharing sounds like the way to go for both businesses and the public. I wonder why they aren't already practicing those methods? It seems efficient, unless whichever company already owns the tower is unfair with the "rent" costs. Well I suppose the whole "T-Mobile has [i]exclusive[/i] coverage in this particular area" is the main reason, but still.
