| 6th May - Ofcom confirmed that
mobile operator O2 has now met its obligation to roll out its 3G services to at
least 80 per cent of the UK population. This follows Ofcom's notice to
O2 in February that it would shorten its licence by four months if it did not
comply with its rollout obligation by June 30 2008. The rollout obligation requires
each of the five holders of a 3G licence to roll out their networks to enable
the provision of 3G services to at least 80 per cent of the population from 31
December 2007. Ofcom will conduct a further assessment to ensure that these
licensees remain in compliance on 31 December 2008.
