n December 2009, smart phone device ownership was 20 percent in the UK, but accounted for 50 percent of total on-line time. In total for the month, mobile internet online usage was 60m hours and Facebook was the most searched website.

Mobile broadband usage has grown as 3G networks have grown, devices (including iconic brands such as Apple and Google) have become the market that make internet access more accessible and ‘content platforms’ open new services to customers. More people are now handing back their fixed lines and want access on the move. There is every expectation for the potential that mobile broadband usage will grow. New radio spectrum for mobile broadband services comes available across the UK after the analogue TV ‘switch-over’ is complete in 2013. Known as the ‘Digital Dividend’ spectrum, it will be available for mobile broadband and wireless services, and combines ‘high bandwidth’ with a large coverage area. The Government is currently concluding on how and in what way, mobile broadband services will be accessible to larger coverage area than current mobile services.
