although the average minutes for all mobile phones comes down to something like 3 minutes a day for the UK (remember there's a big market out there that doesn't use them, even though they have them - emergency only usage). The 3 minutes I believe is an Oftel figure.

I'm not sure if I am understanding you correctly....minutes of use in the UK only averages 90 minutes a month?

That seems extraordinarily low, PCS averages 420 minutes, Verizon over 200 (cant remember the exact figure) and Leap is around 1100 (although with a different business strategy). A slide I saw in Nextel presentation indicated that 11% of all voice minutes in the US were now transmitted wirelessly. I think that the transistion of the bulk of the rest of the minutes to a wireless network will drive much of the need for the 3G spectrum.
