Everything Everywhere, NO Mobile Broadband
On the 1st of July 2010, Orange broadband and announced the formation of T-mobile broadband Everything Everywhere, a merger of the two brands. With Everything Everywhere, the networks of Orange and T-Mobile are integrated thereby allowing Orange phone customers to get access to T-Mobile network and the vice versa.
Orange customers will be able to make calls and send texts on the T-Mobile network and the T-Mobile customers will be able to do the same using the Orange network at no extra cost. But the change will NOT help mobile broadband customers.
The company sa
id that initially it will share 2G networks for customers to be in touch by call or text from more places and later next year, the 3G networks will be shared.
The change not bringing any use to the mobile broadband users is a shame with 60% percent of mobile broadband users longing for good coverage and satisfactory service. If Everything Everywhere had offered Mobile broadband in its combined network, it would have been a blessing to the people. But sadly it’s not so.
Hope that in the future, the mobile broadband users will be able to use either of the networks to access the web. After all, the very name Everything Everywhere should be justified by providing everything everywhere.
But for now, Everything Everywhere is not everything.
