More and more network operators experiencing dropping voice revenues and increasing data usage are having to decide on future paths that may conflict with their past experience and investor sentiment.
Trying to guess trends in the telecoms industry for the coming year may be trendy, but looking back at 2014 and what we got right and wrong may actually be of greater value.

I am looking for "common sense". It seems like a small wish, by difficult to encounter. Then they should learn how to connect everything - such as the car to your phone (read Bluetooth and USB).

I admit that I at times had to replace the Nokia "freehand" holder in the car, and ordered all i the family to use Nokia - so they would fit and play together. I wonder when Microsoft, Google and Apple will learn. RIM and Jolla: that is one more port, and Debian Linux please... Connectivity: drivers are available. less
