For many of you that have heard on the news, read in the paper or heard in general chat, there has been a new law passed by the European Commission on Roaming Data.  It has been introduced to stop the “Bill Shock” when people have been using their Blackberry’s, HTC’s and iPhones’s alike abroad and have returned home to a “shockingly” high bill. With cases reported as high as £14k and €45k the European Commission decided to pass a new law to limit these costs.

It was easier said than done however Team Commsworld rose to the Challenge and completed the Rob Roy Challenge 2010.  Team Commsworld were officially last on two counts; we were the last team to cross the finish line, officially timed at 12 hours and 33 minutes for the event.  More importantly we were officially last out of the pub the night before (or should I say early hours of the morning). Officially timed at 12.45 am, there was a lot of synergy therefore with our official time for the event, and the time that we left the pub!

Hi I am Ricky Nicol, Chief Executive and Founder of Commsworld a Scottish based telecommunications organisation with offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow a company I am very proud of and one that I believe is going places.
 

Four months ago ( February 2010) I wrote my first blog; ‘’Four Years on, what’s changed’’ where I looked at changes in 1 my health and 2 technologies and in particular what impact Social Media has had over that 4 year period and how it would impact our business as well as personal lives going forward.

“Put me down for that”……….”aye, and put me down as well”. It trips easily off the tongue. It is however far easier said than done!  I am, of course talking about the “Rob Roy Challenge 2010”.  Commsworld have put in a team for this year’s grueling event.  A sojourn of 16 miles on foot followed by 42 miles on a bike through, what is arguably some of the finest scenery in Scotland.
