T-Mobile drops walled garden to boost data revenue.
Quoted in ZDNet UK, Ulli Gritzuhn of T-Mobile states: "Too expensive, too complicated, too little use -- that's our clients' judgment about our current data services".
Their new strategy, called Web'n'walk, is to drop restrictions on the sites customers can visit, and to make Google the home page on new devices. "With the Google home page, we want tell our customers from the first moment that they are carrying with them the Internet they know from home". To do this, T-Mobile will be shipping Opera as the web browser on Nokia devices.
