Gee, how pedantic!!! Life is so much simpler when you use "magic" to explain things. For example: Q; "How do cars work?" A; "Petrol and magic". Knowledge may be power, but ignorance is bliss!
It is not disputed that these costs are prohibitive to the "public at large", however I would guess that the majority of users would be corporate, hence offset the costs via expenses. This, unfortunately, is indicative of the UK comms industry. Only of late are the providers packaging their products for domestic consumers as opposed to corporate users. Maybe in five years time the UK will have reached the level that most developed countries already enjoy.
However, it was also announced this morning that major operators have deferred the safety recommendations made following a major rail crash some years ago. An independent inquiry recommended the installation of digital radios to help prevent drivers overshooting red signals. This announcement from the operators means that the recommendations will not be actioned until 14 years after the inquiry published its findings. To rub salt into that wound, there is also involvement from OfCom (UK communications regulator) over the sharing of such frequencies, with concerns that such radios may operate on similar frequencies to public access services.
And the goveernment seem surprised that its public are reticent to give up their private cars?!
