<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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Media_O2">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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arqiva">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>
