Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Tunnel Signal

Sitting in the Heathrow Express station and on the train, deep underground, travelling between Terminal 4 and Terminal 1 yesterday I was pleased to see that there was a superb 3G signal. Rock steady.

So the question is, why don’t more tunnels have this special coverage?

On the other hand, having been stuck on a plane sitting at the gate, enginess off, for 2 hours waiting to take off, the noise from people using their mobiles was really annoying. So I’m officially against making phones work on planes. They should be places of relative calm.
