Slacker, I am guessing you mean average minutes of usage? We tend to focus more on revenue - ARPU. If so yes, I did, 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.

slacker711, "I think cheap fixed line calls is also hampering the take-up." - Stockholm, Sweden had more fixed telephone lines than any other city (per capita) in 1920, from what I've heard (thanks to ERICY). If you are interested in the situation today check with the CIA, odci.gov Not only do "we" have more cell phones, fixed lines, more PC's in the home and more internet connections than the U.S. - but we hate to talk on the phone, communicate, period!!!! We don't even talk to our neighbors when we meet them. Go figure.
