• predicts a data surge ? If they (and the other mobo ops) had got their act together years ago, they would have a. installed better data capabilities when it was cheaper and b. be reaping the large financial rewards today.
  Installing kit now is expensive and when they try to pass the cost on in a recession no-one will want to pay. If it had already been an established communications medium, no one could do without mobo data. But today it's still a novelty. Posted by adrianaitken, United Kingdom

• I wish T-Mobile would do the same. It's really annoying to use a 3G network that takes a lunch break at the same time as you.
  
  I disagree with adrianaitken that mobile data is still a novelty. It may not be ubiquitous in the same was a mobile telephony and messaging but it is certainly mainstream now. Posted by GK, UK
• According to expert network analysts the current 3G bandwidth for all 5 UK operators is coming close to saturation. I hope it doesn't mean they'll be throttling our data usage just when data intensive mobile apps is about to take off! Posted by Art Vandelay, Alderham
