It seems that O2 has found a way to keep the users on its network. Apparently, they are offering their UK users, which are threatening to switch networks, an affordable flat rate Internet access for as little as 10 GBP per month. New subscribers are charged anything from 50 to 220 GBP for the same service.
Other carriers in the country, including T-Mobile and 3 are already offering the similar services, and it’s more than likely that all operators on the Island will follow this tactic.
Sooner or later, users in the UK (and all across the World) will have quite affordable Internet access from their handsets, no matter which carrier they pick. For a start users will just need to rumble about how unsatisfied they are with the existing service, letting the carriers bribe them.
Don’t you just love how the market competition benefits the end users.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
