Ciao Richard,

My concern related to mobile device is not about them, but about the 
network.
Which is pretty much what you sat above...
Today, 3G networks are already overloaded, with the bottleneck being the 
downlink capacity at the baystation.
If servers move from IW3 to IW10, that would definitively impact that 
bottleneck.
The problem is not what happens on gigabit per second, uncongested paths.
The problem is what happens on low capacity, already congested paths. 
And mobile networks seems to me to be a good example of the latter.

Ciao
Marco
