A new generation of mobile networks is being built out of boxes no bigger than a microwave oven that are extending the reach of traditional networks of base stations, satellites and masts to places not worth the attention of big operators."</i><br /><br />There really might soon be nowhere to hide. In addition to airplanes and cruise ships where else do you think these new boxes can be used?
