While that is true to some extent, you don't always have access to the wifi. We visited a good friend the other day and I don't have her wifi password so unless I was to walk in the door and immediately say 'Hello human friend, what is your WiFi password? ANSWER ME', Wifi calling would be useless. Or I could say 'Oh, can I have your wifi password as my in building coverage is so poor I have to rely on a backup solution?'.
As it was I had 4 bars of VOD (2G only) and no 3 at all. Missus had a flicker of EE but not enough to use the web so in the end had to ask for the wifi password anyway.
Essentially VO2 had a massive advantage from the start and they have squandered it while EE and 3 patiently built their 3G networks.
Anyway, 800 will sort it out hopefully very soon and VO2's only historic advantage will be decimated overnight. The end.
