Cloud 9 Isle Of Man

[RTuesday]

Still no launch date for Cloud 9. There were a bunch of planning applications for new masts in the past couple of weeks, don't know if that is for them or for the new Cable and Wireless network, if it's for Cloud 9 it means they are a couple of months from launch yet.

But I've found their roaming list (from their parent, Wire9):

Very weird geography in there (treats most island groups separately - even the Hebrides!). Some suprising omissions, such as Movistar Mexico and 02 Ireland (and no BVI), but quite a long list.

Hmm, about those islands - I think it's "marketing geography" that simply "increases" the coverage area .
In Poland, Era claims to have "separate" roamings in Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, Canary Islands, Corsica, Madeira, Azores, Sardinia and Sicily. Orange claims the same about Mallorca, Canary Islands and Hawaii.

Of course, Wire9 goes much further - they "create" plenty roaming territories from Svalbard to Crete, Monaco, Monte Carlo(!), Ceuta and Mellila. OTOH they consider Serbia and Montenegro as a single state under the name Yugoslavia.
