Three (3) - Mobile Broadband Won't Replace Fixed-Lines
Posted: 11th Apr, 2008 By: MarkJ
The CEO of Three (3), Kevin Russell, has warned that despite an obvious surge in uptake of 'Mobile Broadband' (3G) services, they won't replace fixed-line equivalents. Russell also noted some fears over dwindling network capacity as the technology takes off, although so far this has not threatened the UK:
Certainly 'Mobile Broadband' isn't going to overtake land-line equivalents anytime soon, but perhaps Russell underestimates the appeal of their technology. It's already possible to closely match such services to rivals in the land-line market and with a bit of tweaking (extra services, more flexibility, lower costs and higher data allowances) everything could change.

There are clear markets where mobile broadband works well. There are instances where it works better than fixed-line broadband. I dont think it will replace fixed line. Fixed line will be able to price itself very competitively.
