UK telecoms regulator Ofcom recently issued a statement reminding the 3G network holders (3, Orange, O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone) of their obligation to meet their target of 80% 3G network coverage by the end of 2007.
The 80%-coverage target, which is measured against population numbers not land area, was set as part of the 3G spectrum auction back in 2000 (which added £22b to the UK government’s coffers), is to be reviewed through this year and will use 2001 UK census as its basis. Thinking back, we never guessed that filling in all those census forms would help ensure we could watch 3G video in Penrith.
