In a post that made interesting reading, TechDigest has today compared the various UK Operators against each other. For those that are not familiar, there are 5 major OpCos in the UK:
- O2
- Vodafone
- T-Mobile
- Orange
- 3
I make no secret of the fact that I am an O2 subscriber, and largely I find them to be very good indeed. However, TechDigest have gone for quite a detailed approach, comparing coverage, pricing, handsets, and value.
I won’t spoil the outcome for you and tell you here who they rated 1st – that would spoil the surprise, and also the reading of the great (long!) article that was written. If you do read the article, it would be interesting to know whether you think there are any other criteria the Operators could/should be assessed on – the industry measures are usually ARPUs, and net adds/losses, but is there something you think (however curveball it may be) that would be a good measure to compare them all?

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
