Mobile internet usage on the up

A new report from Nielsen Mobile has shown that the UK has the second largest number of mobile internet users, at 12.9%.

The UK is just behind the US which has 15.6% but ahead of some-would-say mobile leader Italy (home of Tiscali) which has 11.9%.

With the Blackberry taking over the world, it's not a surprise accessing the net from your phone is becoming more popular. Browsing is quicker, navigation is easier and the screen/image quality is always improving.

And yet 'traditional' broadband is still experiencing problems. Not enough bandwidth, loss of connection, security issues, wifi still no avilable in certai areas etc.

The pressure has always been on broadband providers to keep up with demand, the fact that people are now BVB-ing (browsing-via-berry) will mean a lot of late nights and yet more bald heads in the telco world.
