constant bombardment of lebanon by Isreal, after rocket hits Haifa, what can the world do to cease hostility in this volatile situation, considering Isreal is facing War on two front, Lebanon and palestine. Also considering the violence isreal wages on palestine and lebanon due to a soldier's capture. React

Goodnews! Coola now out of the GPRS rat-race thanks to MTel GPRS.
Smooth sailing all the way. Best download speeds I have seen so far. Max 14KB/s.
My only worry is whether Mtel GPRS signals will work at my home unlike Vmobile's discriminatory GPRS. Will send a report later.

The biggest hindrance to MTel is that you must know someone in the Switch. They have to enter your number into their system b4 U start seeing the GPRS signal. Abu had already told us that b4.
Until U get that, nothing I give will work.

I wonder why Mtel is hoarding this thing.. i think it's high time they throw it open for guys cos their customer base is in a downward trend already. imagine a total black-out for weeks because of strike.. that's more than enought to loose half of their customers. They've been announcing & making noise about gprs, edge, 3g etc. & people can't access it unless via insiders, that's rubbish..

The situation(vicious cycle of violence) will remain the same unless d western world(especially USA and Britain) change their biased view of that region. The Palestinians are suffering. N.B. I don't support terrorism nor unjust aggression

I suspect it is a capacity problem. The network has enough stress already.
Ah! its good to browse from my home PC after 5 months! There goes my quality sleep.
@Ibrahim... Connections, my brother, connections. You don't need to even beg. But, it is just that it will cost you a lot of "favour" points.
@all... I may be able to help a few BUT it will take a couple of months for me to cultivate a relationship with the Guy. I can't pull it off until around September or October. And I will give preference to only PNF gurus like Mamba who won't need anyone to hold their hand and walk them thru.
MTel GPRS is as Abubakar said it will be... it will take time.

I still don't understand this broadband/electric thing, probaby cos i've not done any research yet. is it the same Nepa electric wires we have that will be used to distribute the service? in that case there's gonna be a risk of electric shock hazards from 240v. Even if the neutral line was used as the medium, the hazards are still there if there's a thunder-storm.
@Mamba: Power lines can be used as carriers of data or voice signals over long distances. NEPA or PHCN currently uses this technology to monitor its HV transmission network. Remember that one single cable can carry multiple signals, as long as each signal has a distinctive frequency. (Voltage is not a hinderance here). The simple wire line telephone actually works on this principle, only that the voltages in that application are usually about 24Volts.
Let me try to explain how this will work.
PHCN acquires internet connection using a fibre optic backbone or wireless link, and feeds (or if you like, superimposes) this signal using special coupling equipment to the power lines. further de-coupling and re-coupling equipment are required at each transformer stage before it gets to individual homes. To access this service, a subscriber simply plugs in a BPL(Broadband over Power Lines) modem to any power outlet and connects his computer to the modem to get data rates in the region of 25Mbit/sec. So you see the risk of an electric shock here is as great as charging your mobile phone.
However, there are downsides to the use of this technology that have hindered its widespread use. Remember that power lines are bare cables without shielding or insulation, which technically makes them one very large antenna, so they are prone to interferences from other radio signals which eventually corrupt the signal it was meant to carry, and vice versa.
The merit of this technology is the cost saving feature, being that almost every home and office has existing power connections, and require no additional cabling to take advantage of the service. Also uplink and downlink speeds are assymetric (equal).
I'll try to find literature online about this technology and post it here.

Here's some discussion on the topic.

PM me with your email address, and I'll send you an IBM executive brief on this technology. (PDF document only 95kb)
