Up to a point, yes. Ofcom - same ref as before, p 107 - claim that in Q1 2008 "over 90% of the UK population" had 3G coverage. However, I don't believe it as they also claim that "over 99% of the population" has 2G coverage. Despite living within 50 miles of London, I can't make voice calls on a mobile at home! Lynne

I would have thought geography also matters. For some (and probably for some time) in the UK fixed-line internet will be all there is due to incomplete coverage of mobile internet service.
