* You can find information on
www.freemovealliance.net
* In their overview of 'target's' there is no mention of 'lower roaming prices'.
* Reception in mountain areas is usually very good, except for undeveloped valleys.

reception in mountain areas can swing quite a bit dependent on your location in relation to the nearest cell and whether or not there is a mountain standing in between
you're right.... they intend to offer 'seamless' services including roaming and cross-network compatibilty... against 'transparent pricing'

I'm not sure whether this is a good thing (short term) or bad thing (long term).
To draw an analogy, you have a pond with one big fish and four smaller fish. Then a bigger fish comes along and swallows the smaller fishes, leaving two very big fish.
I fail to see how this is good economically ? How long before this new alliance suddenly pumps up their prices towards Vodafone's ? I can see that the equipment would obviously retail at a lower price, but we all know it's the residual income of service costs that these outfits enjoy so much.
I may be a cynic, I may not know what I'm talking about, but free enterprise for service providers is one thing.... two giants hogging the market is another.
