O2 belatedly meets 3G obligation
11:28AM, Friday 2nd May 2008
Ofcom has announced O2 has now met its obligation to roll out its 3G services to at least 80% of the UK population.
This follows Ofcom's February warning to the mobile network operator that it would shorten its licence by four months if it did not comply with its coverage requirements by June 30 2008.
Ofcom each of the five holders of a 3G licence to ensure that their 3G networks cover at least 80% of the population from 31 December 2007. On that date, H3G, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone had met Ofcom's target, but O2 only covered 75.69%.
Ofcom will conduct a further assessment to ensure that all licensees remain in compliance on 31 December 2008.
