Of all the weirdo decisions taken in the #telecoms industry, I can't fathom the logic behind #Telcel blocking access to #VoWifi from #Starlink terminals.
In rural #Mexico there has been a massive uptake of starlink, such that in areas where there is a lack of direct mobile coverage from #2G, #3G, or #LTE towers, the most likely alternative is going to be a starlink.
So why then deny access to service for those customers connected in this way? After all, VoWifi calls are charged at the same rates as those routed over the mobile RAN (even as they don't actually use any resources on it)
Usually, #MNOs (#Mobile #Network #Operators) are blocking access to their #IMS over IP from outside the home country - in order, we presume to not have customers avoid the industry's outlandish "#roaming" charges. (there are some notable exceptions)
But in the case of Starlink, (as far as I can make out) - all the terminals in a national territory are routed via the ground station in that country. - I sort of understood this may be a requirement for operation?
So why not add starlink's #Mexican IPs to a whitelist for telcels?
Of course... we could all have been doing something else since long ago; #VoIP is a thing, VoWifi is just glorified VoIP, just as IMS is a glorified #SIP server.
But then there would not be so much #control...

64 millones de coches se quedarán sin llamada SOS por el agagón del 2G/3G. Bruselas urge a mantener una red por país hasta 2030.
https://bandaancha.eu/articulos/64-millones-coches-quedaran-sin-llamada-11787
«En España Movistar tiene previsto apagar el #2G y el #3G (cuyo apagado ya está en marcha) para 2027. Sin embargo, Orange, que también está apagando el 3G con el objetivo de finiquitarlo para 2027, tiene previsto mantener su señal 2G hasta 2030, lo que encajaría con los planes de Bruselas.»
Los que no podemos utilizar #VoLTE en el móvil pese a que el terminal es compatible con ello estamos encantados con el apagado del 2G/3G sin más alternativa que comprar un terminal nuevo.

Как работает сотовая связь в метро
Сотовая связь называется сотовой за характерную карту покрытия, которая сверху напоминает разрез пчелиного улья. Но такая архитектура применима не везде. Бывают очень неприятные места, куда концепция сотовой связи напрямую не встанет. Если вы живете в большом городе, вполне возможно, что оказываетесь в этом месте почти каждый день. Имя этому месту - метро. И концептуально это очень сложное пространство для работы. Давайте узнаем, каким образом научились делать надежную связь и в таких непростых условиях.

title = 'Fifteenth Post Intermittent internet & GSM access'
+++GSM and 5G data
We often take for granted the access we have to data & VOIP networks, esp. when we have 'unlimited access'
Unlimited data access is a farce
- My ISP still delivers ancient xDSL connections maxed a 10MBit/s (1MBit = 1024kBit!)
- The connection is capped at speed meaning 30days per bandwidth pool
- * 10MBit/s = 36000Mbit/hr
- * 36000Mbit/hr = 36864000 MBit/day (x24)
- * 36864000MBit/day = 1105920000 MBit/month (x 30 days)
- * 1105920000MBit /1024 = 1080000 MByte/month
- * 1080000MByte /1024 = 1054.6875 GByte/month
- * 1054.6875 /1024 = 1.02996826172 TByte theoretical bandwidth.
You get only 1.0299 TByte/month at max!
Subtract from that number 10% for protocol overhead ping delays retries and what not.
- * 1.0299 TByte - 0.10299TByte = 0.9269TByte
- * 0.9269 TByte = 949.1456 GByte max in practice
The practical cap is at 949.15GB per month
Similar calculations can be made for unlimited post paid POTS phone connections
- The cap is at time. No one talks 24hrs and can pay the phone bill, so the cap is also economical
- No unlimited services exist. All are capped by time*
- Subscriptions can be a way out to good deals
- One of my GSM providers gives 100 minute prepaid subsciptions for 6 months a year and two years
- The difference is startling in comparision with the regular price
- 100min = 4.5 USD per month subscribed prepaid 6 months
- 100min = 25 USD month prepaid!
Don't take your connections for granted.
- Many people (me included) drop permanent services due to economical & technical reasons
- * I dropped my xDSL connection because I need fibre connections to work. My ISP has the fibre optic cables & FAT terminals (fibre acces terminals) in the first part of the street.
- * * My ISP even made the power company change the poles in the whole street
- * * The EBS changed the poles in 40% of the project time, a record for them.
- * * My ISP betrayed us by still giving us FTTC instead of FTTH as promised in the whole street.
- * * My ISP has massive corruption problems, since they abused the grand for FTTH to give us obsolete FTTC equipment with xDSL
- * * Only areas without POTS cables got FTTH first, the rest was shoved on obsolete ancient FTTC equipment you cant buy new anymore globally
- * * The ISP makes double money since they cant charge more for FTTC minimal, but have to give 50MBit/s minimal because there are no lower caps allowed in the contract grand
- * * The FTTH connection als0 gets your POTS phone connected to it
- * * when a pole is ripped off due to a car hitting it, you are SOL without a seperate GSM / smart phone, because your POTS phone is now on a SPF (single point of failure).
- * On xDSL the lines are buried so POTS lines are safer
- I also dropped the xDSL service because the ammount of data I can download is pitiful on xDSL
- I can use the cash literally for food since they charge a massive USD 20/month for the ancient connection

Similar calculations can be made for unlimited post paid POTS phone connections
- The cap is at time. No one talks 24hrs and can pay the phone bill, so the cap is also economical
- No unlimited services exist. All are capped by time*
- Subscriptions can be a way out to good deals
- One of my GSM providers gives 100 minute prepaid subsciptions for 6 months a year and two years
- The difference is startling in comparision with the regular price
- 100min = 4.5 USD per month subscribed prepaid 6 months
- 100min = 25 USD month prepaid!
Don't take your connections for granted.
- Many people (me included) drop permanent services due to economical & technical reasons
- * I dropped my xDSL connection because I need fibre connections to work. My ISP has the fibre optic cables & FAT terminals (fibre acces terminals) in the first part of the street.
- * * My ISP even made the power company change the poles in the whole street
- * * The EBS changed the poles in 40% of the project time, a record for them.
- * * My ISP betrayed us by still giving us FTTC instead of FTTH as promised in the whole street.
- * * My ISP has massive corruption problems, since they abused the grand for FTTH to give us obsolete FTTC equipment with xDSL
- * * Only areas without POTS cables got FTTH first, the rest was shoved on obsolete ancient FTTC equipment you cant buy new anymore globally
- * * The ISP makes double money since they cant charge more for FTTC minimal, but have to give 50MBit/s minimal because there are no lower caps allowed in the contract grand
- * * The FTTH connection als0 gets your POTS phone connected to it
- * * when a pole is ripped off due to a car hitting it, you are SOL without a seperate GSM / smart phone, because your POTS phone is now on a SPF (single point of failure).
- * On xDSL the lines are buried so POTS lines are safer
- I also dropped the xDSL service because the ammount of data I can download is pitiful on xDSL
- I can use the cash literally for food since they charge a massive USD 20/month for the ancient connection

draft = true
title = 'Fifteenth Post Intermittent internet & GSM access'
+++GSM and 5G data
We often take for granted the access we have to data & VOIP networks, esp. when we have 'unlimited access'
Unlimited data access is a farce
- My ISP still delivers ancient xDSL connections maxed a 10MBit/s (1MBit = 1024kBit!)
- The connection is capped at speed meaning 30days per bandwidth pool
- * 10MBit/s = 36000Mbit/hr
- * 36000Mbit/hr = 36864000 MBit/day (x24)
- * 36864000MBit/day = 1105920000 MBit/month (x 30 days)
- * 1105920000MBit /1024 = 1080000 MByte/month
- * 1080000MByte /1024 = 1054.6875 GByte/month
- * 1054.6875 /1024 = 1.02996826172 TByte theoretical bandwidth.
You get only 1.0299 TByte/month at max!
Subtract from that number 10% for protocol overhead ping delays retries and what not.
- * 1.0299 TByte - 0.10299TByte = 0.9269TByte
- * 0.9269 TByte = 949.1456 GByte max in practice

Закат эпохи: провайдеры окончательно отказываются от dial-up и 3G, но ряд идей в основе технологий обретают новую жизнь
Технология коммутируемого доступа до сих пор вызывает чувство ностальгии — характерный звук модема сложно забыть. Но телекомы по всему миру продолжают отказываться от dial-up — и следом от сетей 3G. Процесс, который начался еще нулевых, набирает обороты. Обсудим ситуацию и поговорим о том, как идеи коммутируемой связи находят новую жизнь.
