<p>You're telling me! There's some real blasts from the past in there. <br>
</p>
<p>BT/EE (Orange, T-Mobile, One-to-one in list below) and Hutchison 3G (the official name of "Three") have been sharing infrastructure for donkey's years now. Their sites near me are normally badged as both "EE" and "Hutchison 3G" rather than the name of the
joint venture.</p>
<p>O2 (also Cellnet and probably indirectly Airwave in the list below) is now part of
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Media_O2" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Media_O2</a> but I've not seen that name used on any masts. What was NTL is also now part of that via Virgin Media.<br>
</p>
<p>"Argiva" is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arqiva" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arqiva</a> of course.</p>
<p>I'm not sure who "Mobile Broadband" were; a visit to one of the sites to see the posted sign would help find out who they are now.<br>
</p>
<p>I'd suggest not adding historical operator names to the NSI as it would surely cause confusion...</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>

<div>Looking for something else I found data on mobile phone masts in the open data for Non-domestic rates with names of the owners of the masts (and some other useful things which I need to follow-up). Some of the names have likely changed (e.g., Orange),
but in general these look like good candidates for adding to the Name Suggestion Index.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Names in the Nottingham Open Data, roughly in order of frequency:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Vodafone (& Ctil Vodafone)</li><li>Hutchinson 3G</li><li>O2 (and Telefonica O2)</li><li>Mobile Broadband<br>
</li><li>Orange</li><li>Cellnet <br>
</li><li>T-mobile</li><li>Airwave</li><li>Argiva</li><li>Ntl</li><li>One-to-One</li></ul>
Obviously some are very dated, with the name more-or-less corresponding to the start date of the account, so some replacement entries may need to be made too.</div>
