Local Authorities have three weeks to choose their fate in telecoms
Local Authorities across the UK have just over three weeks to potentially determine whether they wish to create citizen-owned wireless networks - potentially eliminating inner and inter-city mobile call costs through the use of wireless VoIP - as opposed to allowing the major mobile network operators to dictate their future, according to UK-based Metranet Communications (www.metranet.co.uk) which is responsible for the UK’s first city-wide Intranet. A major area of the radio spectrum (2500-2690MHz) is due to be released by 1st January 2008. The area to be released is 190MHz wide, and therefore considerably wider than that allocated to 3G networks, which was 140MHz wide.
