The UK is not the USA. Two completely different countries and two completely different strategies. This why I said people here only see what's in front of their face and it has been that way for years while the rest of the world drives in a completely opposite direction.
We are the number one smartphone market in the world, which actually makes us look even worse because so many people piss money away without even understanding what they are doing.
To be fair though, the UK just got an LTE infrastructure up and it's a spotty one at that. Meanwhile, we've had it for a long time already and LTE-Advanced is already being tested. Either way, data is the future. No one cares about voice or minutes. Everything will be over IP and unlimited eventually.
Our biggest networks, Verizon and AT&T, are our worst enemy. They are relentlessly trying to duopolize the entire market which would be extremely dangerous for price control and innovation here.
