We could be heading for 98% mobile internet coverage:
BBC News - Ofcom boosts 4G coverage plan in rural 'not-spots'

Plus we're almost at 50% for internet users connecting via mobile devices:

Good piece but I wont hold my breath, UK hasnt got proper 3G coverage yet, the powers that be are useless tossers , like with BT dragging its heels over broadband many years ago so allowing UK to fall way behind the US etc , the UK mobile peeps will screw us for all it can on 3G before even switching 4G on properly.

The Gadget Show ran a piece on 4G being tested somewhere in W London and Suzi the hotchick played an interactive online video game via mobile / tablet with no streaming issues, no delay etc etc yes Suzi thats because there was nobody else using the 4G streams !!!! When its live and youve got thousands on it it will be slower
