iphone 4 tariffs for UK consumers

Here are links to the tariffs of the main UK networks. At first glance, if 3 provided unlimited data then it would be the one to go for. But it all comes down to what you want  . . . longer contract, pay more for the handset, unlimited data.

Big thing for me is that I am now less interested in calls and texts and more interested in the web capability - but the tie-in costs for unlimited data deals are big. Better to buy the handset maybe? Errr, but I don't have the cash right now.

Prize for the worst tariff page goes to O2.

Streams vs email

This is a great post about streams and emails.

From an organisational perspective, I like the idea that streams of information provide an opportunity for users to decide what information to tap into vs the top down communication that is email. This quote sums it up:

Looking at this as a 'wisdom of the crowds' sort of issue, it is more likely that information will be best distributed within any given group if each person can decide what information sources are likely to provide good information for themselves, rather than leaving it up to the sources of information to decide who should have access to it. This is the argument for openness in open societies, as well, and it has an immediate and obvious analog in the workplace.
