I used to live in North West London (Camden Town), and had a few dead spots round the 'hood.
I've just moved to East London (Stepney), and now I've got multiple dead spots in my flat.
I have maybe six locations in the flat where I must sit to talk. No more wandering around, doing stuff while talking on my mobile.
And yet almost every month I get a solicitation from BT Cellnet, imploring me to upgrade to new services - usually things that would double my monthly bill.
All of these carriers have a lot of work to do to finish the job they started out on with voice.

Now I can get in an accident with a SUV while the driver is surfing the net as well as talking on the phone.
