ahead of schedule.

"As Chief Executive of Britain's first and only
pure play 3G operator, I am often asked about the opportunity
for 3G. The information on three.co.uk explains why
3 have created a new network with new rules that have
changed the mobile world and how 3G customers are using
the technology to become film makers, journalists and
publishers." Bob Fuller CEO 3UK
