Web access fears as iPhone buyers await launch
The Guardian: "Experts said they were concerned that buyers in rural areas could be paying over the odds, since the higher-speed network that the iPhone uses to surf the web will cover only a third of Britain by the time the gadget goes on sale.
"We think that this is simply inadequate and will frustrate a lot of users," said Martin Garner, of industry analyst Ovum. "It could be problematic for O2." Users outside major urban areas could be forced to pay large sums for "unlimited internet access" but only be able to use slower, older web connections. Some potential customers said it had put them off the idea of buying an iPhone altogether.
"I really want to combine my iPod and mobile internet access," said Iain Wright, a nursing assistant from Inverness. "But since it uses a network that isn't available where I live, it's basically something I can never use.""
