  2. 3 in the UK by doodlelogic · · Score: 2, Informative

    One of the most affordable carriers in the UK is 3. All their phones are 3G. They took a while to take off because at first the phones were quite bulky but now they are making serious inroads.

    Most of the applications like watching a clip of today's news, cricket, etc are extra though... quite cheap at 50p a pop but can mount up quite easily.

    The HCL Call Centre in Belfast is owned by an Indian company. This headline has already happened (sort of).

    now in some countries the 2-2.5G _is_ happening already.

    Eh, all my friends have 3G mobile phones, with free video calls within their net and for a small fee to other nets. They've also got several tv-channels (such as news, music, etc) to choose from for a flat fee, not to mention full internet connectivity. But then I live in a civilized country like Sweden.

    outsourcing didn't become an election issue

    Which election were you watching? Does the phrase "Benedict Arnold CEOs" ring any bells?
