A: All the pages published by DMLR are best viewed at 1024x768 pixel as monitor resolution, usually used by portable computers...

(It) Tutte le pagine pubblicate da DMLR si vedono al meglio con una risoluzione monitor di 1024x768 pixel, di solito usata sui computer portatili...

Many years have passed since April 1990 when the mobile phone, aka cellular, came into the ordinary life of the ordinary people. What it achieved in its glorification
of the individual is surely the possibility of a more direct, practical relationship between the consumer and an old means like the static telephone.
But the flurry of mobile devices has given an avenue of countless number of prefixes, now three-digit prefix. To this extent the "mobile experience" has produced an effect of old-style mass-market commodity fetishzation, where the "prefix" is the principal element through which brands are seen only as personal tool and accepted as must by the consumers.
This is the sequence of prefixes by actual provider and
technology that are really behind the service:
Tim/TACS = 336 - 337 (valid until 2005)
Tim/GSM = 334 - 335 - 338 - 339 - 363 - 366
Vodafone (ex Omnitel) = 340 - 343 - 347 - 348 - 349
Wind = 320 - 323 - 328 - 329
Wind (ex Blu) = 380 - 383 - 388 - 389.
The monthly quiz is about the prefix that is missing on the list above. What is that prefix? (As posted on DMLR*News Lite No.3).
A: 333. The list had missed the first prefix launched for calling mobile phone almost ten years ago. 333. L'elenco aveva tralasciato il primo prefisso lanciato per chiamare i cellulari quasi dieci anni fa.
Are you expert on marketing, maybe an Internet dean, plus an English good speaker? Fine, this is the puzzle for testing your ability...
