United Kingdom Mobile Market, 3G,
Mobile Data and Forecasts
The UK’s 3G and mobile data market is one of the largest in Europe. Competition
among network operators has induced them to provide similar pricing and usage models,
commonly including between 3GB and 10GB per month. This has substantially increased
consumer use of mobile data, but high charges for extra usage remains burdensome. Low-key
data applications such as SMS dominate the market while mobile TV, though widely available,
has thus far failed to capture public attention. This report surveys the UK’s mobile
data market in 2009, providing an overview of 3G developments, regulatory issues and
technologies. It also profiles the major operators, presents statistics on non-voice
services, and analyses developments in mobile TV and mobile portals. See the table of contents and

United Kingdom Mobile Market Overview,
Statistics and Forecasts
The UK has one of the largest mobile markets in Europe, both in revenue and in the
number of subscribers. It is served by five major providers which have all launched
3G services, as well as by a growing number of low-cost MVNOs. The market is characterised
by new developments in advanced data services such as mobile TV, the bundling of mobile
as a quad-play service, and regulatory controls on charges and fees. Mobile penetration
is above the EU average, yet subscriber growth remains strong as consumers adopt
additional SIMs as well as business-oriented devices such as the BlackBerry, iPhone
and G1. Fierce competition has forced operators to concentrate on packaging service
bundles and line service promotions, and explore applications such as mobile searching
and advertising facilities. ARPU has been relatively stable for all operators, with
growing mobile data use offsetting lower voice, interconnection and roaming tariffs.
This report surveys the UK’s mobile market in 2009, providing an overview of mobile
statistics, regulatory issues and technologies. It also profiles the major operators
and MVNOs, and looks ahead to mobile developments in coming years. See the table of contents and
