O2'S Erskine says initial take-up of 3G services has been 'modest'

[Miles]

Peter Erskine, chief executive of UK wireless operator O2 PLC, said demand for third-generation mobile phones had been uninspiring since the launch of the high-speed services back in February.

'As we anticipated, the early take-up (of 3G) has been modest,' Erskine told reporters after the release of solid full-year results.

'We're supremely confident that 3G will be meaningful but we've always said it won't start until the second half of 2005, becoming material in the first half of 2006.'

To be fair a majority of their customers have no choice, I know nearly all of East Anglia is lacking in 3g. I'd gladly use it if it worked anywhere near me.
