Ofcom’s 3G map of Britain
The BBC have posted an article regarding the state of the 3G situation in the UK. Having spent some time mapping Great Britain and Northern Ireland to paint a picture of just how dense or sparse 3G is your area. It’s a fairly interesting map that serves as a rough guide however it does not go into detail of every nook and cranny in the UK. The Government is currently looking to wire in every house in the UK to have broadband using the conventional copper wires. Why can’t they just look at this and lend their support to filling in some of the Wales sized holes… including Wales with mobile broadband?
It’s fairly simple, public ownership of utilities the best way as the gas and power giants are now showing us and phone and data is now becoming a utility more so than a luxury. It’s not *quite* a utility ‘ I’ll admit as many people do not use it on a daily basis, however, many do and depend on it.
Enough of my opinion as it’s getting a little sidetracked, the bulk of the BBC article is quoted after the break.
