Wireless Substitution in United Kingdom

Broadband wireless substitution is the analogy to wireless substitution in voice, many would note.

At some point, as fourth generation wireless networks start to offer access speeds in the 40 Mbps range, a wider range of end users are going to conclude, for various reasons, that a wireless broadband connection can substitute for a fixed-line connection.

In the United Kingdom, as elsewhere, the trend remains relatively small, but seems to be growing.

For almost one in seven users of mobile broadband (14 percent), the use of a dongle or datacard is their only Internet access method. This figure rises to 21 percent of males, 31 percent of 18 to 24 year olds and over one third of Londoners (34 percent). See this.
